Somehow I'm getting the whole idea but, ... my twisted mind is resolving the question in the following manner. You know the rule, the simpler and the cheaper gets my vote :) As I read it, the whole issue seems to be about making it easier to access one assigned track inputs and/or outputs. I believe the best way to make this accessible is having an extended track context menu, which will refer to the current selected track. New menu items might include:
Track Inputs... - show the connections dialog in regard to the track's input bus connections only, making it easy to check, connect/disconnect actual track input indirection.
Track Outputs... - same, but showing the respective assigned tracks's output bus connections.
I guess these ones will facilitate things a bit. I'm sure it's not the ideal answer, but, as said, maybe it's the least pervasive.
Ah, some more Track menu items, that are now popping from the top of my head, not necessarily related to this topic, but cope with the recent suggestion and implementation of those configurable keyboard shortcuts (inferred from Alex Stone's request):
Previous - make previous track current.
Next - make next track current.
Move Up - move current track up towards the top in track order.
Move Down -move current track down towards the bottom in track order.
Record - arm current track for recording.
Mute - mute current track.
Solo - solo current track.
Ah, and yet some more, this time under the View menu:
Zoom In - horizontal or vertical wise.
Zoom Out - ditto.
Zoom Reset - reset both zoom levels to default.
However probably, all this will get post-0.1.1, which I'm thinking on throwing out this week-end.
