Like I say, there's no technical reason it can't be done; it's just that 99% of applications never bother. Though folks could always send Apple feature requests asking that Cocoa Scripting support this behaviour for free - that'd certainly make a difference.

It works everywhere. The ObjectSupportLib was giving us grief, so I helped Peter Boctor figure out how to implement whose clause support in C++, which he did in a fabulous manner, as well as constructing the aete handler which amalgamates and caches all the plug-in's scripting support.
And it works in InDesign and InCopy, as if any of you will use InCopy much. To my knowledge, none of the other Adobe apps are anywhere as sophisticated as InDesign in the scripting arena, although Photoshop actions are pretty cool.
