yes, and a out-of-process plasmoid could just list all available presentations 
to choose from if there is more than one instance of stage running with 
different presentations. a little more cumbersome, but it could work nicely 
from the user's POV, esp as usually there's only going to be one copy of stage 
running and when there are multiple instances, the user can easily switch 
between which control to use.

btw, i don't know if it's come up yet but with a DataEngine driven approach 
that the control plasmoid uses for all interactivity, this would make it 
trivial to transfer the control plasmoid onto, say, your tablet, phone, etc. 
with plasma installed on it and control the presentation remotely.

such a DataEngine would want to advertise one source per available (e.g. 
opened in stage) presentation and a control service accessible via 
serviceForSource.
