Hi Joe,

If the app is totally Carbonized, you should be able to get at the  
widgets by discovering the hierarchy. For example:

tell window "x"
	every ui element
end

Whenever you see a container object (like "group" or "view") then  
repeat the process.

tell window "x"
	tell group 1 of scrollview 1
		every ui element
	end
end

When you locate the object in question you can address it directly:

	click button 1 of group 1 of scrollview 1 of window "x"

Some menus and popups can be tricky—you have to click them before you  
can discover their contents.

There is a helper: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Accessibility  
Tools/Accessibility Inspector.app
