What is your purpose?

(1) There is another (more easy) way

You can control sound volume or WiFi connection by AppleScript itself. There is
no need to change sound volume with controlling menu extra.


(2) Scriptable Menu Extra apps

Some menu extra apps has AppleScript scriptability such as “AnyBar” or
“AirServer”.

(3) GUI Scripting issue

You can control Apple genuine menu extras via “SystemUIServer”.

(4) You can make a kind of menu extra by AppleScript

It is a very easy task.
