See what your options for parameters to set are with an Element.Parameters node.

I don’t think there is API for accessing that functionality. You can certainly create a new callout that references another view. There is a static constructor on SectionView class that allows you to do that, but these callouts once created don’t offer any API that would allow you to change the view that they are referencing. At least I couldn’t find anything. Maybe one possible way to go about this, would be to delete the existing callout, and just create a new one that references the view that you want to reference.

@Konrad_K_Sobon, Looks like you can do it with a Utility class ChangeReferencedView()

Great find @SeanP!

Now that we know there is indeed API for that, we can do so with a few new nodes that I added to archi-lab.net:

So in the image above I am selecting the view that has the callouts. In this case its Level 1:

Then we are changing both of these callouts to reference the same view:
