I don't think that will do much good. Apple overall has no notion of text-level scriptability via Apple events, as the wretched scriptability of Apple's own applications demonstrates. (I fear that when Jens Alfke left Apple, he took with him the last Apple-employed brain that actually understood Apple events and the OSA.)

Now, IIRC Apple did have a private internal scripting language of sorts that allowed the user to write intelligent text macros. But that was withdrawn some time ago.
