Default VSTi Multichannel routing - Combine MIDI tracks with respective Stereo Outputs?

Context:
You have a MIDI VSTi Drum Kit and want: 1) seperate MIDI tracks to control Kick, SNR, HH, etc. 2) Seperate audio outputs to later mix kick, SNR, HH, etc.
You do the routing in the VSTi to receive correctly all MIDI parts then send back individual Stereo outs...


Question:
Is it possible to combine the MIDI tracks with their Stereo Outputs- One track per element?
Kick= kick's MIDI and Stereo | Snare= snare's MIDI and Stereo | etc.

When you need to freeze, it would create stereo wav file on the track that currently has the MIDI info, and also hide the MIDI content in the freeze settings.

Is that possible?

Reason for this:
You would control MIDI elements seperatly which can be easier to organise and edit
You would have seperate audio outputs to mix more precisely
You would have only 1 track per element rather than two (1 MIDI + 1 audio)
You could switch from MIDI editing to audio mixing and back again to MIDI, with the freezing feature

Thanks

That is the standard for any multitimbral VST-instrument.

AFAIK no. You'll always have 1 midi-track AND 1 audio track.

That works already: You have your midi-track - and you have the
associated audio track.

Yes - that's the standard already.

AFAIK this is not possible. Perhaps somebody knows the trick how to combine
these two tracks into one. I don't know this trick yet.

You can do this already. If needed you can move the tracks so that
they are together - meaning: The associated audio-track is directly
underneath the midi-track.
