Is this possible?

Could a script do this?
Open a template file; (/path/to/file/template.aet)
select "Footage" in project window;
open "replace footage" dialog (wait for user assisted file selection);
copy name of selected footage;
open comp A;
select "Footage"
(or select all, with all other layers locked to get only the desired layer)
find outpoint;
set work area;
trim comp to work area;
open comp B;
trim comp to work area;
open comp C;
trim ...;
open comp D;
trim ...;
select "Project name comp" in project window;
rename to (clipboard contents)
save project as ...
(quit script)
We do this umpteen times per show. It'd be great if we could script some of this.
Thanks in advance.
