How can I align an object's orientation to a plane described by 3 CVs?

Detach the handle, then right click on it and use start orientation picking - then pick 3 points.

I see it's not so easy coming from XSI and Maya.
The problem is if I pick the CVs the position does also snap to a new location. I just want to align the rotation.
Also I want to pick vertices from the lattice itself which does not work.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to model an object and want to align the handle in different ways to make pushing/pulling points easier? Or are you working with Objects and trying to create a rig with specific spaces and orientations?

Yep, I want to align the edit SOP handle for example.
