Let's imagine for a moment that you could magically create this feature ...what would be the syntax?   In other words, I cannot figure out how a person would script this, even if it were possible and implimented.   Everything you've discribed deals with the game UI Window and clicking around in it ...how would a script have any frame of reference to such an abstract thing?

Perhaps if you provided the reason for wanting this particular feature it might be possible to come up with something.  But, I'm not sure how scripting something like this is beneficial?

There is already a member of the 'ship' datatype:  "Approach[X,Y,Z]"    So, you can do something like MyShip:Approach[234.2, 2355.21, 232.5]
