Can't you do all this with references? After all, the terminal could be a reference to a generic control. But LabVIEW is a strongly typed language, so what you want to do is not an issue, that is why it is not addressed. The 'universal' solution is to create your own language that solves your problem and then implement an interpreter or compiler in LabVIEW, as Turing did in on his infinite tape.
