I am pretty sure you can call the control center to open at a specific settings panel. However, I am unsure 
whether this will allow moving directly to a particular page within that settings panel, so getting to orca 
settings will be partially possible at least.

This is a dilemma I agree. On one hand, desktop UI designers want the desktop to look consistant, and have 
settings located in one location. However, this doesn't always work with projects such as Orca, which is more 
a FreeDesktop project than a GNOME project these days IMO. Having said that, a compromise may be to leave the 
settings in Orca as a fallback, should there be no known settings manager for the current desktop environment 
that is running. That could be seen as more work by orca devs however.
