Rob,
Thanks for the explanation. I actually got my use case working with
Applescript and a Run trigger. The full explanation for completeness was
that I wanted to create a trigger to open Chrome with a New Tab and Chrome
with an incognito window for GMail. The two scripts I ended up with follow:
tell application "Google Chrome"
tell window 1 to make new tab with properties
{URL:"http://www.google.com/"}
activate
end tell
and
tell application "Google Chrome"
make new window with properties {mode:"incognito"}
set URL of (active tab of window 1) to "https://mail.google.com";
activate
end tell
So I ended up not needing the full menu bar items functionality in the end.
Thanks again,
Scott
