Please add feature for to make object as key object via script to perform align operations.
Hi, I am a plugin developer, and there is a lot of features we are missing in Illustrator scripting that can be done manually in Illustrator. This is the one feature. Please add this feature so that we have some method or property to make the object as a key object to perform "Align to Key Object" operation via script.

This would be great to have, the key object selection would be very useful for many illustrator macros.

Please add a read/write property to selected objects for the current key object in a selection.
e.g.:
app.activeDocument.selection.keyObjectIndex = 3;
or
app.activeDocument.selection[3].isKeyObject = true;
etc...

Ai allows to set a key object, but does not allow scripts to utilize this.
Please give us a way to grasp on it.
An ability to mark one object in a selection can do so much more than it seems! -

Could you please at least add something to determine if the selected object is the Key Object.

I agree, I am very limited because of this missing feature.

InDesign has selectionKeyObject. Why Ai can’t have one?
