I think what you meant is:

How can I select *TRACKS* using my MIDI controller?

and the answer is "you can't".

Not quite.  Track routing is ALWAYS ON no matter what.  The tracks will
always PLAYBACK on the channels and destinations that they say they
will.

Rechannelize (which also "reportifies" but there was no UI room for
that) only affects incoming MIDI and the pads.  With rechannelize off,
you will not hear the same thing when you're recording as you do when
you play back.

I think I finally understand what you want.

You want to be able to say "anything that comes in on MIDI channel 5
goes to track 5, and will play the same sound as track 5, internal or
external".  Unfortunately, this is simply not how the XL-7 works.  You
can only record one track at a time, and you must specify it on the
unit itself.  Therefore, you should have rechannelize on, and simply
change the track/channel on the XL-7 and leave your master keyboard's
channel alone.
