Yes - there could be a CC for 'edit track' that would take a value of the
track to be edited.
Then a midi switch box could have 8 dedicated 'edit track n' and 8 dedicated
'record track n' buttons if you wanted.
Would this be an improvement on sticky keys though ?
If you haven't come across sticky keys, they are modifier keys with a
timeout or toggle action, so pressing REC would display 'Select REC track',
and then you'd press a track key on it's own to activate record. Similar
thing for PLAY/EDIT and possibly FUNC.
This replaces two-key combinations with 2 key sequences - easier if you only
have one hand free.

Yikes. My scope creep alarm just went off ;-)
