I've noticed the usual way of accessing state in VDJ is via VDJ script, my question is for events such as hot cue presses is there a recommended way for getting actions like you would normally use a cllback mechanism for? In my case I want to get any time a hotcue is pressed.

The Devs may have a better method, but my first idea is a plugin in between the hw button press and the hotcue script call.
HW calls the plugin, plugin calls the hotcue and do whatever the real reason for the plugin is.

That was the thought I had, but isn't ideal since it would need to be implemented for all controllers if I am correct.

depends on the controller, if it's hotcues via pads the hardware can call the padpage and the pad can be written to both call the hotcue and also press a button on a plugin. Which would be pretty universal on padpage covers most cases
devices that call a hotcue script directly would need to be rescripted.

querying "is_using cue" for example could also be an indirect way, depending on the exact use case and precision needed.

so would `is_using cue ? deck left hotcue : nothing` be the right function to query for the hotcue otherwise return a 0?
