Hi,
you can approach this by using blend shapes for example.
I have modified an older example, where you can use 2 Blend shapes.
If you want to use more, you have to add additional ramps manually with connection to the blend Parameters, to have control over the blending values.

Well I would do it with a ramp on the curve and a pscale attribute driven by the ramp.

The reason that it is not one click on Houdini is that once you have made it you can do much more than make just one outcome
