In darktable the execution will be quite different as we don't do any destructive edits but have a defined pixelpipe. The best way to transfer a channel (let's say L-channel), seen as input by a specific module, is to transfer it alongside the pixelpipe. We would do this in the alpha channel as we currently already do to make the blend mask visible. Making it visible is the task of module gamma at the end of our pixelpipe. The main problem is to have this without a completely cluttered GUI...
