probing internal bus

Hello,

I would like to probe (EDIT: inject) 4 internal 8-bit buses from the testbench hierarchical level in post layout simulation.
In order to do this, i use multiple deepprobes and fill in the path manually. See the picture below.
I was wondering if there was a better solution than this.

    What are those blocks to the left of each "bank" that seem to be (I think, it's hard to see with the resolution) connected to the deepprobe points? Obviously if you are just "probing" the outputs (e.g. plotting in ADE) you don't really need to use deepprobe for that; only if you want to make a connection into the lower level cell (e.g. inject a signal or add a load of some sort) do you need such a probe.

    Those blocks are multibit blocks from analogLib. Yes, I would like to inject signal, i.e., voltage in this case.
    I have been walking with small stones in my shoes as well with probing/reading post layout results, but that is another story.
