Hello, anyone knows how this is done in TDBitwig and which API version to use? I'm not sure the one from Moss repo support it...
Cursor Navigation

Pinning:

By default, the cursor selection will follow whichever object is currently selected in the Bitwig User Interface unless it is pinned. The pinning functionality applies to CursorTracks, CursorClips and CursorDevices. If a Cursor Object is un-pinned, you can change the selection of the Cursor by clicking on the desired object in the Bitwig UI.

Example:

Let’s say a CursorTrack is currently pointing to track “Instrument 2” and is un-pinned. If I click on “Instrument 1” in Bitwig Studio, my CursorTrack will follow the UI selection, and now points to “Instrument 1”.

If the Cursor is pinned, it’s selection will not change even if a different object is selected in the Bitwig UI.

Going back to our example:

If a CursorTrack is currently pointing to track “Instrument 2” and is pinned; if I click on “Instrument 1” in Bitwig Studio, my CursorTrack selection will remain, and still point to “Instrument 2”.

The use of pinning and un-pinning becomes a convenient way to select objects in TDBitwig by interacting with the Bitwig UI. The Component parameters Pin Track and Pin Device allow users to pin and unpin Cursors within TouchDesigner.
