Launchpad Load Instruments/ Effects

yo!
I’ve been trying to find out ways how to more effectively use my controllers in my studio.
One thing that really slows down my workflow is getting distracted when I’m looking for a plugin for a new track.

When I need to go INSTRUMENTS> AUDIO UNITS> NATIVE INSTRUMENTS> MASSIVE, it’s not uncommon for me to get lost along the way, especially if I hear something in the mix I want to change.

Basically what I’m looking to do is have a button on the launchpad that triggers NEW MIDI TRACK> INSTRUMENTS> AUDIO UNITS> NATIVE INSTRUMENTS> MASSIVE in a single motion.

Somewhat similar to how Push has a load instruments/ effects function, but without all of the scrolling through the folders.

I was thinking of maybe using max for live, but I’m not sure if that mapping would be possible, and I know very little about it.

Does anyone know if/how I could accomplish this?

Ive mapped the pads on user mode to do various things in Ableton like Play, Stop, Metronome, etc. I’m sure you can assign a pad to create a midi track though I’m not sure how. But there are keyboard shortcuts for Ableton. Like Ctrl+Shift+T (I use PC) would create a new midi track and Ctrl+T would create a new audio track. If you havent looked into that yet. BTW I get lost as well when I’m working on tunes. Especially going through sounds in Massive haha.
