I believe the question was about muting/unmuting tracks by footswitch, so if it was possible, it would affect the track itself, while track can send to internal enging or external MIDI (or both). However, it's impossible, as far as I know. Moreover, while SysEx specification for XL-7 is awesome, unfortunately it lacks any control of tracks, so even a clever footswitch (like Behringer FCB-1010) won't help.
Patchcords work on the layer level and in this case specify how a layer would react to the MIDI message, namely generated by footswitch. If you are controlling external drums, they would only receive the forementioned MIDI message. Patches and their layers are the internal part of the sound engine.
However, why don't you just use a volume pedal on the output of your drum device?

You cannot send midi out from the synth engine. So anything you set up with the vurtual patchcords cannot control external drums. Let me see if I understand: you want to turn on and off the midi data from specific trscks going to an external module with drum sounds using the mute/unmute switches. Is this right?
