It might be worth taking a look at the NE590, seems a bit like an
addressable ULN2003.

" The NE590 addressable peripheral driver is a high current latched
driver, similar in function to the 9334 address decoder. The device
has eight Darlington power outputs, each capable of 250 mA load
current. The outputs are turned on or off by respectively loading a
logic HIGH or logic LOW into the device data input. The required
output is defined by a 3-bit address. "
