The application and dictionary you are looking for is in your
System:Preferences:Quickeys:Backgrounders folder. Put the sequence you want
in the Quickeys menu then you call it by name:
tell application "QuicKeys Backgrounder"
PlayByName "myfavseq"
end tell
I use this often to get things done that aren't scriptable.
