Momentary lapse into magnification

I thought it would be cool if you could use the dock with magnification turned off, but could temporarily turn magnification on by pressing, say, control, while the cursor was over the dock, in order to look more closely at a minimized window, for example. I don't think this is already possible in OS X, because pressing every button I can think of has no effect.
Could I write a very small program to do this in cocoa? I figure I would
a) need to be able to send a message to the dock to turn on/off magnification. This is probably possible by using NSScriptCommand, right?
b) need to receive notifications of events from the dock. ie. mouse over or something like that.
Is what I want to do possible? Any advice on where I could find this sort of information.
