difficult.

Think of following usecase:
you have configured
plugin.tt_news.excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1

Now you have 3 CE's with news on a page.
With one of these you want do use the setting
plugin.tt_news.excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 0

now with your suggestion you would define something like
[globalVar = TSFE:CEID = 411]
plugin.tt_news.excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
[global]

Now the editor deletes this CE and create a new one - the condition will 
fail. Or he want to have same on other page, but has no access to template.

Alternative: enter the line in the TS-Field of CE - done ;)

Other usecases for normal CE:
* append CE with commenting plugin

I think there are several possibilities, many ideas with using plugins
