Not really. I found the current automation interface somewhat too hard for me so I have just set up a datamodule that has queries for things that I am interested in extracting from the model.
The database design is pretty clean so the queries that I want are not hard to write. I am just using an ODBC dbExpress connection straight to the EAP file.

Simpler, except that the database format is subject to change, while the automation interface is likely to remain in future releases.
