Presently, these "expand" into a text edit area.

Is it feasible to wrap such functionality inside a script that, in the case of 
a desired on-the-fly report, could

- prompt the user

        Select one or more of the following components for the desired report

and after the user completes their selection, to output the macros into a .tex 
file and then read and use that .tex file as the template from which to build 
the desired report?
