applescript: GUI scripting method for toggling options (without using the mouse)

Is there any way to choose between the (format: (web archive) / (source)) in the safari "save as..." menu using something else than automator recorde开发者_如何学Cd mouse clicks? I'm looking for something similar to the methods you used for menu bar actions. (Using mouseclicks with automator works, but I want a more robust method.)

I'm afraid you'll have to (1) enable Full Keyboard Access and (2) use the keystroke method to send the appropriate number of tabs, so as to focus on the dropdown. Once it's selected you can use keystroke again to choose the right option.

If the item were scriptable, you would use properties to set how you want to do it. Since it's not, you're stuck with this uber-kludgy workaround.
