I was wondering if it was possible to select OS X menu bar items? Just to be clear, I am referring to the icons on the top-right in OS X. For example, the Bluetooth icon, volume control icon, etc.

I have an application that has a few menu items which I would like to select via AppleScript.

The first trick is to identify the required menu extra by its description, Diego - so that, whatever its current position in the menu bar, it should still be possible to target accurately.

We can get a list of descriptions with something like:  <snip>


Apparently not all icons have a name - iSync and Keychain Access, for instance.  They return "missing value".  
None of my third party icons, Drag Thing, iKey, or MenuCalendarClock appear at all.
