Using Companion Start Media with Timeline

in MAIN

Hello, I am trying to animate on and off bugs using 1 piece of solid content. My thought was to put the bugs on an independent layer so they will stay on screen while jumping around and firing other columns and then do a second call to finish the rest of the clip and animate off.

I figured if I use a timeline and segment the main portion to stay on, and then a second segment for the OUT animation, but having issues with how Companion calls using "Selected Layer / Start Media by Name", I cannot figure out how to call the OUT segment since the Start Media calls the first instance of that media's name.

Since independent layers don't work with column calls, I am forced to call media by it's name. Is there a way to call "Bugs" timeline and target a specific segment? Or is there a better way to do this?
