I would really like it to be more direct...
As with everything else, it's a matter of practice/familiarity/inundation. Set aside, say, a half hour every day to transcribe a different tune (you don't have to finish the transcription, just do as much as you can in a half hour). If you do that every day, after awhile you'll start to identify intervals, chords, modes, etc. easier. Eventually it will become second nature.
