There's no switch on a message for this - you could ask Microsoft for this
feature but I can't see it as being anything like a priority for them - I've
never seen anyone ask for this before.

It's a script or nothing. (maybe one day they'll make the toolbars
customizable - that _is_ something people have asked for) and then you'd be
able to run scripts from toolbar buttons as well as from keyboard shortcuts
and the script menu.
