Yes, that would be vewy vewy cool :).  Years ago I wrote a librarian 
for my M1 which had the exact same function: click on a patch and it 
would be sent to the M1 and a note would play.  The patch would not 
be stored (written) however, so that you could audition all your 
patches from the computer (or from the M1 directly) without 
destroying internal memory.  One more click and you were back to the 
original internal setup.  Very helpful when you have hundreds or 
thousands of patches.
I agree that the EXS could do with a makeover in this respect. 
Click-hold on a menu, navigating 4 folders deep, picking patch 28, 
waiting till it's loaded, playing, deciding this is not it, going 
back to the menu again and trying patch 43...  etc.  Well, we've all 
been there, so who am I writing this to anyway? :-)
