Is there any Macro Command which has the similar functions as HyperTalk script in the HyperCard (i.e. the command can be used to the menu items)

I have used MacroMaker and AutoMac III, but they are still not what I want.
The Macro should like HyperTalk, and can handle :
  1) System Message: like: on doMenu xxx, on mouseDown, on mouseUp, etc;
  2) Command Set: it includes OPEN, CLOSE, drag, click, doubleClick,
  3) Handle:  DiskIcon, Folder, File, Window;
  4) Property:  (Y/N) Active, Visible, WriteProtect, EmptyTrash
             (Number) Loc, Size (the size of icon and window on the screen,     
                                 the size of file)
             (string) Name, Type, version etc
  5) If... then..., repeat..., do while...

Any people have seen such sort of Macro?  If not, why no people do it? Or,
why don't you clever guy out there try to do it?
