title: Accessing dock icon right-click menu items with AppleScript
body: <p>Is there any way to get an AppleScript to access the menu items that come up when you right click on a dock icon?</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, here's what I want to do:</p>
  
  <p>I use Google Chrome as my web browser on MacOS X Snow Leopard.  I am a keyboard shortcut addict, and I use QuickSilver to create keyboard shortcuts for anything I can.  One of the most common things that I do is to open a new web browser window.  But I use Spaces frequently to partition my tasks that I am currently working on, and when I open a web browser or web page with a QuickSilver trigger, spaces switches to the last space that I used Chrome on and opens a new tab, which often distracts me for hours because it brings me to a different space and thus a different task.  I can fix this by right-clicking on the Google Chrome icon and clicking the "New Window" option, which opens a new window on the current space.  But in AppleScript, to do anything with Google Chrome, the first thing I have to do is activate it, which brings me back to the original problem!  Can anyone think of a solution to this problem, AppleScript or otherwise?  It has become a serious problem.  Back when I used Firefox, I solved the problem by changing a preference item that says "Always open pop-up links in a new window" or something like that, which was kind of a sledge hammer approach, but it worked.  I can always go back to Firefox, but I thought I'd ask my question here first.  Anyone with any ideas?</p>
