Question Default send to device action for two devices?

I have two devices, one with an SD card and one without. Is it possible to set the default send to device action differently for each device? So when I connect the device with the card the default action should be "Send to storage card A" and when I connect the other it should be "Send to main storage".

I have been wanting this. Seems logical now that many users have/use many different devices.
The Template is save by device

IMHO this probably should be stored with (and be part of?) the device driver settings (by calibre ID? for cases of multiples of the same model)

Connect to folder is always Main
Save to Disk is a Path
Connect to device is by device:
For CC it is always Main
For a K4NT it can only be Main
Hanlin V5 (AstakPP) either

The problem is that many usb devices do not have unique identifiers, so it is not possible in general to ribustly distinguish between them. So while one could use a kludge like using the driver plugin as a proxy or putting a device id into the driveinfo.calibre file, these kinds of solutions are fragile and rather confusing.

I can see it being slightly fragile.
I can also see that the current (method) setting would be used (unless it fell into the STD or CTF group) as a default until detected and set, Similar to the way device {Templates} work

Would it maybe be possible to implement a rule like "if there is no storage card, send to main storage"?
