How to get the current track ID

uPlay

Hi team,
I am studying Max For Live and got stuck on the way how to detect the track ID that my Max device was added to.
For example, if I add my device to the second MIDI track from the left which is supposed to be the track #1 (since the track number starts from zero) and I want to set a path to something in the track mixer buttons or knobs, I need to use "path live_set tracks 1", assigning the track ID specifically.

However, I don't know which track I would insert the device in the real scenario, so I want the device to detect the current track ID automatically (so that I can use "path live_set tracks $1" or something to set the path from the device). The device needs to understand the current track ID. Is there any useful way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Almost... but "path live_set master_track" wouldn't work, since it's a 3 item path instead of 4.
