Default Option to pass sends through input FX

Currently sends don't pass through the receiving track's input FX. An option to change this behavior would come in handy for simplifying certain tasks.

It wouldn't make sense and won't happen, but if you just want to capture a send going through track fx, you can use the normal fx chain and record the track output. Make a new track for this if necessary. Basically you're asking to put the receive before the send, which would require time travel to produce any sound.

Maybe you've misunderstood what I'm asking. I'm asking for the option for the send to pass through the receiving track's input FX. Not its own. Currently it only passes through the receiving track's output FX. I don't see how this would 'require time travel' to work.

Sends by definition go to a receiving track and through an effect. Please explain in more detail what you're talking about?

In REAPER, tracks have both an input FX chain and an output FX chain (https://imgur.com/a/beqq7g6). Input from the input source goes through the input FX chain before being recorded. Currently sends only pass through the latter on the receiving track.

Because there are only three points which a send can occur and they are all after the input fx. If those points could be other places than they are, we'd have the option to do that kind of routing already (it's been requested many times). Therefore if you move a receive earlier in the chain than the send, you open up a wormhole that destroys the entire universe.

But I might be wrong...

You can do it using ReaStream
One on broadcast (local), source track
And other on receive , InputFX Chain
but there are latency issues

If you want to go to outside world then ReaInsert for hardware

Gmem also an option possibly ?

as a workaround, you can create a send to an intermediate track, putting whatever plugin(s) you'd like to apply into the intermediate track's track fx and then pass the processed signal on to the actual destination track.

A native soulution will be preferable, though.
