Using sidechain compressors as inserts

Is it possible to use a side chain compressor as an insert? I cant find anyway to connect anything to the side chain since when its used as an insert it doesn't appears in the routing window.

Also the standard Compressor has this feature. Or the Gate. Or the Ducker, which sidechain 'takes over' the main input when a sidechain signal, exceeding Ducker threshold and AR, is detected.

I've ran some test in a Channel device and in a MultiFX rack.
CW devices, which have a control on their Surface to assign SC connections, work fine.
The Ducker's Sidechain does work when it's inserted. The Compressor's SC works, Gate's and Optimaster's SideChains works too.

STW's Compressor SC does not use Sidechain when inserted- it has no panel control for the SideChain. They need to be connected in a project. Or someone in Danmark could put SC controls on the device's surface.

Oh yeah, STM2448 built-in Compressors' SC works too.
