I've also been looking for a thorough reference on how to use UI scripting, any pointer ?

The only attempt at a somewhat thorough guide to GUI Scripting that I know of is Lesson 28 ("GUI Scripting") of "AppleScript 1-2-3" (Peachpit Press 2009), written by Apple's Sal Soghoian and me. It is part of the Apple Training Series.

There is also a discussion and sample scripts at <http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html>.

Both of those are a little out of date with respect to how you authorize accessibility in newer versions of OS X, but I assume you've already figured out how to do that.

Some sample GUI Scripting scripts from Apple may have been installed as part of your OS X installation at /Library/Scripts/UI Element Scripts.

You will also find some documentation in the Help book of my product, UI Browser, at <http://pfiddlesoft.com/uibrowser>. UI Browser is, among other things, an advanced scripter's tool for GUI Scripting, with capabilities going beyond those of Apple's UI Element Inspector (Accessibility Inspector).
