I'm afraid I don't have any incoming Osc to test.

It seems very similar to the param linking tho'.

that would be Osc Extractor,
there's only 2 Bidules which accept the address, and the other 
is for *sending* OSC

Tools> Osc Server
then click the Address space tree to find the destination Bidule.

I've got a hunch you don't need *both* of those steps, and you can 
either select the target parameter from Osc Server OR
use Osc Extractor with the address value.

OR, a third way if you wanted midi, 
just use  an Osc Midi bidule and link it from the Osc server.
