I have several profiles that toggle certain settings. One example is a screen rotation toggle, and another is a busy mode toggle. Currently I have a few options for toggling those settings. One is to add an item to the notification pull down menu, cluttering it and my status bar. Another is to add an icon on my home screen, which requires me to exit the app I'm using and scroll to the proper home screen.

Android 4.2 introduces a second panel on the notification area that contains controls for a number of settings. There are shortcuts for wireless and battery settings, and toggles for airplane mode and Bluetooth. Is it possible for Tasker to hook into that somehow and allow me to add my own entries to that menu instead of my current ugly hacks?

Probably your only option would be to detect that the second panel is showing with the window label (%WIN) and then show a blocking overlay scene with your own toggles.
