I take your point. You're thinking more like a lawyer than a software

I understand your wanting to be able to fire off menu item in
non-active apps,
but making this work is really hard. Apps sometimes calculate their
menus
dynamically (e.g. disable/enable items on the fly). So, you'd have to
somehow
trick the app into doing this - and this might never work right while
the
app is in an inactive state.
A lot of people look at the Accessibility APIs and think "Now I ownz
all those
apps that didn't bother to make themselves scriptable." Unfortunately
this isn't
the case. There is no substitute for the apps, themselves, supporting
remote
operation. What accessibility strives for, driving the UI, is a lot
less - though
still plenty ambitious.
