I wanted to send the following AppleScript to OmniFocus:

		set value of attribute named "link" of style of characters 1 thru 9 of note of myTask to urlString

The problem was that I could not work out how to send things to a range of items inside a collection, without sending separate Apple Events for each character. 

This could be solved with a makeObjectsInRange:performSelector: method on SBElementArray. The underlying problem is that I should be able to send, in one single Apple Event, any getter/setter that AppleScript could manage to send in one Apple Event.
