AppleScript for EndNote X3?

Has the Direct Export function for Safari been addressed in X3? It only works in X2 if you drag & drop the downloaded file onto the EndNote application in the dock. Is this something that can be included in a script?

AppleScripts could be used to identify records that meet certain criteria, without having to conduct complex searchers and add them to a new group, eg. journal articles without a doi, records not allocated to a group, records without attached files.

Many of the actions that occurred to me in the first instance are functions that are often done in sequence using standard EndNote functions. Steps that could be recorded in a script.

Could something be done to assist users who add extensive notes in the ‘Research notes’ field, i.e. they use the standard EndNote search function to find records that include xxx in the ‘Research notes’ field, but then have to search through 10 pages of notes within each record to find the corresponding text?
