you can, just ctrl-click on the names-I'm not sure it works for
everything though.

no, I don't think you can.

wow that's a lot! I've never had more than 2, perhaps a global
"recalculate modifiers" button, with a way to go through the stack and
recalculate (currently only needed for mesh deform, but perhaps some
future mods too). similarly, it would be good to redo the rest position
on armature stretch to constraints, when you copy the rig to another
mesh.
