Is there a way to trigger the Looper display using midi?

Hello folks, I tried searching the forum but I couldn't find anything pertinent. I'm setting up my Axe 3 with a Nektar Pacer (the FC-6 or 12 are a little expensive for me atm) and I would like to trigger the looper screen on my axe unit when I turn the looper on. I have mapped all the other controls no problem but I haven't found a way to get to that screen using the midi controller. I'm starting to suspect it's not possible but I wanted to confirm before I go out and make a feature request :)
 
You're trying to trigger the looper functions or just make the looper block appear on the screen?

For the former see the Looper page of the Midi/Remote menu.

I don't believe there's a way to remotely make the looper block appear on the screen. Even with the FCs...

Just curious - what benefit does this get you?

A clear visual of which part of the loop it’s currently playing and how long it is. Super useful.
 
There might be a SysEx command for this (Axe-Edit for the Axe II used them to display the currently-edited block) but it doesn't look like the Pacer can send custom SysEx. The FC6/12 can't do this either.

With everything connected to a computer, you could probably make a certain CC or note trigger the right message from computer to Axe.
