I am not sure what that means. If you want to generate mouse events from Lisp code, that should be easy--just put them into unread-command-events. Would be a nice means to exploit some of the newer features of emacs ---as an example, balloon help in itself may not be directly useful to the emacspeak user --- you really dont want emacs intrrupting what you're listening to and tell you things --makes it too much like the dreaded office-clip from idiot-proven interfaces. On the other hand it would be nice to ask for a tooltip. Would calling tooltip-show do the job?
