Is there a way to toggle between Follow/Creation mode from within aliases and triggers?

The particular problem I'm trying to solve is this: normally rooms on the mud show up like this:
An Altar in the Church [Inside]

However, if I have 'Detect Magic' enabled, the spell gives me additional information about the room like this:
An Altar in the Church [Inside][ManaRoom][NoCast]

I do NOT want to be in Creation Mode with 'Detect Magic' on because I know CMUD is going to get confused about the room name and start thinking I'm walking through rooms I haven't been in before.

However, I DO want to "mark" these rooms with a special color so that I can easily see where they are later.

Therefore, what I ultimately want to do is move around in Follow Mode, but:

#TRIGGER {~[ManaRoom~]} {<enter creation mode>;#CALL %roomcol(,#FF33CC);<enter follow mode>}

Likewise, I would like to mark certain landmarks:

#ALIAS {mark} {<enter creation mode>;#CALL %roomcol(,#6633FF);<enter follow mode>}

I hate doing this toggle manually, does this command exist?

I use #MENU to do it..

In CMUD:
Off: #menu {Mapper|File|Off}
Follow: #menu {Mapper|File|Follow}
Create: #menu {Mapper|File|Map}

(Slightly diff commands in ZMUD IIRC..)

something i just noticed was #menu {Mapper|File|Map} makes your cursor go to the main menu(same activity as if you hit alt). Makes it a pain to use this on the fly
