Description

## Summary

Javascript or Applescript access for Appsmith running on a local Mac

## Motivation

I would like to build an integration between Appsmith and a database on my Mac (Devonthink) which does not have a traditional API but does have support for Applescript or Javascript/JXA. Docker is typically sandboxed to prevent Applescript or Javascript access; that is understandable when access is given to third parties, but in this case access to Appsmith would only be by me or my team so there is no security issue. Is there any possible feature or workaround which could address this?

## Additional Context

No doubt there are many other apps which support Applescript/JXA but do not have an API; any solution to my use case would likely apply to others also.
