Clarification: Detecting the Option key on selecting a menuitem

Hi All

I am trying to follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines on attachability of AppleScripts to menu items: that is

It the user holds down the Option key while selecting a menu item (or anything else, button, etc), it will open the AppleScript (as rich text) that the user has associated with this item. I still think that this approach is valid according to the doco.

Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi All

Has anyone got an sample code (Objective C) that can show how to catch a menu item selected with the Option key is held down?

All I can find on the web is a reference to using Carbon menu (FastScripts developer 13 Feb 2005) and
registering to receive the kEventMenuTargetItem event.

Does anyone have any code that can demonstrate how to do this from a Cocoa app rather than a Carbon app.

Thanks in advance
Steve
