Access to other Tracks in the DAW

How is it possible to get access to other tracks in the DAW. I'd like to build vst plugins that can stream other track e.g. as a sidechain.

Yo can't control what the DAW offers. That's not the concept of VST. But you can tell the DAW, what you expect to get. For example, if you create 4 mono inputs, you can use them as 2 stereo pairs, for example for the main stream and a sidechain. Compressors often work this way.

Thank you tulamide. I tried it and it worked so far. I can choose many sidechains in my pluginwindow, all routed on the sidechainstream in the plugin, poorly they are not separated.
I am searching for a way to get many (sidechain) streams in my plugin that stand for different tracks in the daw. I like to effect them individually. I tried with more than 4 mono inputs but it didn´t work. Is there a way to handle this?
