RS5k manager: Macro | Conflict between negative linking range and Macro scaling

[IOphonics]

Being able to set the minimum linking parameter value down to -100% conflicts with the concept of using the lower range of the 'Macro' control for decreasing the initial offset values.
If you move the 'Macro' knob to 0% and the 'Min' link range to -100% you end up with -200%, if I understand it correctly.

We'll have to think about the scaling a bit more.

Nothing we can do here without external tools like custom jsfx slider or stuff like that. Linking feature is played around REAPER possibilities which are very limited

[IOphonics]

Is this linking through API feature documented somewhere already? I'd like to understand better where the restrictions are.
I trust your expertise when you say it isn't possible, I just want to learn a bit more, so I don't ask you to do stuff which is not possible...

Parameters are roughly limited to 0...1.
With 'Macro' knob to 0% and the 'Min' link range to -100% you end up with 0.
I think it is something like out_value = macro_value + (offset * scale)
