I'm helping disabled person to adapt Zoom application for their special needs. The problem is that zoom exposes only raise hand reaction via Option + y keyboard shortcut. My goal is to let this person express other reactions like yes, no and ... using keyboard shortcuts connected to special equipment. I find it challenging to access the reactions menu via Applescript. reaction menu Additionally, zoom shows menu with reactions button only when user hover mouse. bottom menu that requires hover to reveal I started my script as
tell application "zoom.us"
	activate
end tell
try
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "zoom.us"
			tell window "Zoom Meeting"

-- some magic that reveals menu with buttons and press reactions button goes here

			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
on error errMsg
	display dialog "Error: " & errMsg
end try
Thanks for your help!
