NSView::sendEvent() with properties from a button's AXUIElementRef, is it possible?

Hello,

I am abusing the Accessibility API for automation from inside an Adobe Illustrator plugin. It is easy for me to use AXUIElementPostKeyboardEvent() for simulating user actions on OK/ Cancel buttons.
However, AXUIElementPerformAction for any other buttons doesn't work. The button only gets hilighted, but not triggered.
Is there any way to post fake mouseDown/mouseUp events to the control's parent view? I can find out the position via AXValueGetValue(kAXValueCGPointType), but have no idea how to obtain the necessary NSView to do so. Any hints are welcome! Also I would be pleased to get informed about a possible better solution.

Thanks,
Michael
