For custom command one can usually just the menu entry.

I have done this for Launch Workflow.

If I remember correctly the below works.

app.executeMenuCommand("Launch Workflow...");

In Ten's brilliant library one can add the command to the jason

var aiMenu = {

     "file" : {

          "lauch" : "Launch Workflow...",

          "new" : "New",

          ...

    It can help you when you input executeMenuCommand's arg like below.

      Hello, I am using app.executeMenuCommand command, everything it seems working, but when I try to undo (ctrl+Z) what script does, Illustrator crash every time. Maybe do you know why?

          i have been thinking about doing something like this for a while and just haven't gotten to it. my thought was to just essentially re-namespace everything so that it makes a little more sense and is easier to remember. i have to look up the commands every single time because i can't remember if the one i need is lowercase, camelcase, titlecase or includes spaces....

          you beat me to the punch with something that's even better than i had imagined.. bravo. Thanks Ten. =)
