Is there any generic dereferencing syntax in Applescript ?
'contents of', or usually (not always) set a variable to the reference which
evaluates it to its value, or use the explicitly 'get' with parentheses
contents of (field 1 of window 1 of application ... )
--should work
set aVariable to (field 1 of window 1 of application ... )
-- [may or may not work: may still be the reference]
get field 1 of (get window 1) of application ...
-- [may or may not work: may still be the reference]
There are some really great advantages when developers implement the
reference instead of evaluating - you can go on manipulating the variable
you set to the reference without constantly having to get it again, and you
can set it too.
