'Automation envelopes' sounds a bit involved; but you don't have to worry about separate lanes, automation items, or recording fader movements to use them. On the (default) 'trm' track button, left click to show the envelopes window, or right click to more directly select and display 'envelope parameters'. The one you're looking for is 'bypass' in this case. The bypass envelope will now show in the track.

Have the bypass envelope selected (the line is bold) and shift-click on either side of the item section you want to change, to insert two envelope points - the item doesn't have to be split at all. Dragging the envelope segment (or the first point) between the points allows you to enable or disable bypass on your selected Vst. [edit] You'll notice that the Vst button on the track control panel greys out when the envelope bypasses it.

It's easy enough to create a custom action to insert two envelope points either edge of a time selection, which speeds up this method.

Automation items are useful for repeated instances of envelope fades, etc.
