I think for filters the ideal solution would be to use a sout style config
line. you could think of situations where one whould want to first run the
wall filter and then flip the topmost vouts with the transform filter
(because topmost monitors in the array are placed upside down to reduce
space beween monitors or some stupid reason like that). Then you may also
want to select vout modules for these filters outputs, or pass some
parameters to them (like which monitor to fullscreen each resulting vout on).

Of course, building a gui for something like that will be too far fetched,
but it is worth considering for internal use and/or commandline.
