Would be great to have multiple "Internal Commands"

I wonder that is there a possibility in Nexus to have multiple Internal Commands for a single Dock Item. For example I want to;
1. Empty Recycle Bin
2. Clear Recent Items
3. Clear Temp Internet Files (not in the list yet)
4. Clear History (not in the list yet)
with a single click.

Hmmm... I kind of like the suggestion, but I don't see an easy way of implementing this via the GUI (Graphic User Interface). Some kind of 'batch/script' language would be better suited for this, but I'm not really sure it would be worth the effort to implement...

For implementing through the GUI, how about using a wizard for users to create them, and in properties it says "Multiple internal commands" and lists them like "Command #: Execute FireFox"?
That is one way of doing it, whether it's worth the effort or not.... Up to you.

Hmmm... Add a 'Macro' ability (i.e. you can create and name independent Macros, each holding several commands, and then add the macros to the docks, shelves and menus much like you would an 'Internal Command'.)

Exactly! It would be like any existing internal command, only you assign more then 1 command to it through a Wizard (and I'd recommend an advanced user version without wizard).
