Control Module Development/Implementation

I am setting up DeltaV to be used as a "wireless manager" at a customer site with DeltaV Ready Wireless Gateways (1420). 

I would like to output PV/SV/TV/FV, Alarm and OINTEG/STATUS information for each wireless device and display it on an operator graphic to show a matrix overview of all devices in the plant. 

Is there an easy way to be able to assign a DST (such as LT-2160) as a variable in the control module just once and then have the control module reference that "variable" for each of the output blocks?  (e.g., LT-2160/COMM_ALM, LT-2160/MAINT_ALM, LT-2160/HART_PV, etc.)?  Do I have to change every output block manually per each instrument to get the data?

Thanks!

    Thank you for your help. Makes it so much easier to only build one control module for each gateway and not have to worry about more than alarm management for the devices (there are a TON of HARA alarms).
