I was skeptical of your suggestion at first but trying it out on an example script made me see its appeal:
notepad_main = start("Notepad")
with notepad_main:
write("Hello World!")
save_dialogue = press(CTRL + 's')
with save_dialogue:
write("test.txt", into="File name")
click("Save")
click("Close")
Forcing the library user to always use the "with ..." seems like overkill though. I think the gained precision does not justify this burden on the library user. Hm....
