That last is certainly possible to do, but changing the GUI is a bit
of a pain.  Mostly we try not to do too much of that these days until
a re-write into a new widget set is accomplished.  When that might be
is entirely another question of course.

The three paths in there now are just round-robin'ed, meaning each
transmit picks the next one in the list.  Any empty ones are skipped,
so it doesn't matter which of the three or how many are filled in.

To do a separate path for objects right now your best bet might be to
pick a different SSID (so your Xastir instance doesn't get confused
and try to adopt the packets), and inject the packets with the special
path into UDP port 23 using the "xastir_udp_client" script, via cron
every XX minutes.  Sorry we can't provide something easier/cleaner for
you at the moment, but if I had to do it RIGHT NOW that's how I would
do it as well.
