Yes, using a bus is the only option.
But (I think this isn't mentioned in the update info): The bus used for this
doesn't have to be present in your environment at all! And of course you
don't need to set anything on the bus itself either.
Just try it: Send something to a non-existing bus and use that bus as a
sidechain input on *whatever* plugin supporting it.
The only drawback: Such non-existing busses don't show up anywhere as used
ones. That's why I hide mine somewhere out of the visible range of my audio
environment.
Apparently using busses was the only technically working solution for that
sort of thing.
