The OS determines whats on the SSD. its completely transparent to the user.
If you want to use an SSD for the AE cache there is no way to set unless
you have a discreet SSD.

i work at a place where they put an SSD in an external TB case and have it
mounted to the back of the imac and thunderbolt connected, so thats an
option as well.

If you have an extra system that you want to see how it may work there
apparently is a way from the terminal to make your HD and SSD one volume
and OSX will manage it as a fusion drive. i have it tried it so ymmv...
