  The $^{6}$Be continuum states were populated in the charge-exchange reaction
$^1$H($^{6}$Li,$^{6}$Be)$n$ collecting very high statistics data ($\sim 5
\times 10^6$ events) on the three-body $\alpha$+$p$+$p$ correlations. The
$^{6}$Be excitation energy region below $\sim 3$ MeV is considered, where the
data are dominated by contributions from the $0^+$ and $2^+$ states. It is
demonstrated how the high-statistics few-body correlation data can be used to
extract detailed information on the reaction mechanism. Such a derivation is
based on the fact that highly spin-aligned states are typically populated in
the direct reactions.
