Auto color button on Color balance tool

If you Alt click on the Levels Auto button and hold your mouse to the different settings it says that 

Find Dark and Light Colors corresponds to clicking Image>Auto Color (Shift-Ctrl-B) with Snap to Neutral Midtones checked as well if you look at an action recorded using Image>Auto Color.

So for a non “destructive workflow” you could either turn your layer to a Smart Object and use Levels and Color Balance or use Levels and Color Balance Adjustments Layers.

Further if you don’t want to Alt click the Auto button all the time, you could record and action to make the Auto Color adjustment then open the Color Balance dialog.

Shift + ctl + B does not give me that dialogue. I see what you’re after and it makes sense, but I’m not sure how you’re getting that dialog. If I go to the menu, image->adustments>color balance, there is no auto button. Same with layer masks. No auto button.
