hmm, I think maybe you wanted something more like...

Nope. I wanted something directly simple:
tell UI process "Dock"
click button "so 'n so"
end
:-)

Right. I assumed so. But I suggested something possible instead. I'm
not entirely sure that what you're asking for is a good thing, but I am
pretty sure you aren't going to get it. 'click' belongs to System
Events. I don't think you're going to be able to give it to another
app, and you're never going to get an application process to accept
being the target of a tell.
So, If you want to avoid the double tell then you're going to have to
be easier to please. : )
If you're going to request this feature why not just ask that the
'click button' and other System Events commands get redirected to the
application process if you direct it at the application?
ie.
tell application "Dock"
click button "so 'n so"
end
I'm sure that would be just as difficult to implement and looks even
better. Perhaps this will happen when System Events is rolled in.
Perhaps you'll even be able to browse the GUI containment hierarchy in
Script Editor. Perhaps not.
