This should be possible.
Please publish your minimal code here, so we can help you fix it.

Yes that is possible too, and all ports can be pull.
As you can see in the signature of the pull function at <http://read.cs.ucla.edu/click/doxygen/class_element.html#ce8c7b8b37f177b9a9cc024d8b64f3a3>, the integer specifies the port which is pulled.
