Stop Play action?

I am doing a play with a community theater group in which there is a dummy radio on stage and actors are changing the stations in turn.
The cue list contains the appropriate tracks for the different radio stations, however switching to each track/cue requires pressing Stop for ending the current cue, (End Advance moves to the next cue) and then pressing Go to play the next cue/station.

I had an idea that maybe a new action type could solve this, maybe call it 'Stop Play'?.. in which by pressing Go while an assigned cue is running, this will stop it playing and immediately start plying the next cue.
This is similar to the End Play action, only it can be triggered while a cue is playing. 

Does that make sense?

Hi Nid,

You can do that now my using a control cue.  In the cue that's currently playing, set the "Cue Advance" function to "Start Advance",  insert a control cue after the current cue that's playing and set "Cue Advance" "Start Play" and in it's Control tab, set the Action to "Cue Stop".  That should do what you need.
