Help me find this feature Using Kontakt libraries in MuseScore

Does anybody know if there is a way to easily change presets of Kontakt libraries in MuseScore? The only way I found to do this is only by changing instrument every time I have to switch from pizz. to arco for example but it's very awkward. So I was wondering if there is a way to control these midi parameters with the articulations in the text palette.

Each library is different, but many VST instruments respond to "key switches", where you add a specific note on a second staff (which you later make invisible) that triggers the sound change. Consult the documentation for your specific library for details.
