At least one logging package, DXLab, provides the necessary conditional
statements that allow you to build scripts attached to buttons or sliders
that can accomplish this.  For example, I have one button that appears in
the "Commander" (the DXLab application that does PC to K3 communications)
window  that reads the band the K3 is set to and then sets the power out to
the value that produces just under the legal limit for my amp on that band. 
Using the same facility, you could define a "slider" control that would
increment or decrement the power level by a fixed value each time it was
moused.  Or, you could drag the slider to set any desired power level. 
Since standard K3 commands are used, when the power level is changed via one
of these controls, the new power level is displayed on the VFO-B section of
the display just as if you had turned the PWR knob.
