Can an EMS program make a selection from an E+ dropdown menu?

I know how to use EMS to read sensors, control actuators and write values to schedules, but can it also be used to make a selection from an E+ dropdown menu?

A more explicit example: in AirflowNetworkSimulationControl one can choose between 4 Airflow Network Control settings. Is it possible to start a simulation with one setting and switch to another setting in a next timestep?

As said by Archmage I can confirm that EMS is not an option.

However (in case anyone needs it) I found a way to alter the source code to solve my problem. I added a schedule parameter to airflownetwork:simulationcontrol that can be controlled by EMS to switch between the simulation control modes.

No, EMS is not able to modify those types of input selections.

@Archmage. Thank you for the information. That's a pity. Then I will get my hands dirty and dive into the source code.
