Direct access to select render devices

Hi, I have only 3 years using blender but in the past 18 using 3dsmax, I want to bring to here some ideas and make Blender-Cycles the best software possible, the First one is this, a direct access to select the devices to render a scene, I know this is something possible with Phyton but well.... I have no Idea how do it. If someone know another usergroup to publish this idea let me know.

I wouldn't consider the 3D viewport's sidebar to be a good place for this, at best it could be in the render properties:

But even then, is there a user case for this? Personally, it's not a setting I need to change often. Actually, the only times I need to change it is anytime I install a new version of Blender without importing the previous version's preferences.

Have you tried looking at preferences - system - cycles render devices?
