Well yes, it might be. With OS X, Apple introduced "UI Scripting", which is
a way to let a script simulate mouse clicks, keystrokes etc. I haven't tried
it much myself, but it should work. You can find more information about it
at:

and you should also take a look at:

If it doesn't work then you will have to use a macro recording tool like
QuickKeys
