Extend TestComplete for a different clicky event

Consider this line of code.

 

Aliases.browser.pageMain.wndWindowHeader.panMenuContent.mnuTicketInquiry.Click();

 

I have an object in name mapping that I click. Loverly. 

 

There are many instances that want I really need to have done is

 

Aliases.browser.pageMain.wndWindowHeader.panMenuContent.mnuTicketInquiry.scrollIntoView();
Aliases.browser.pageMain.wndWindowHeader.panMenuContent.mnuTicketInquiry.Click();

 

Pretty easy. But what I want to do, if possible, is extend TestComplete to provide a method, something like NavigatorClick that performs scroll then click since I am going to be using this a LOT. But more to the point, the team I am coaching is going to be using it a LOT. And yah know. Learning new stuff is fun. Also, I have found scrollIntoView sometimes doe snot work. Of course, if I find a mechanism that works better, I want to be able to change it once rather than go everywhere I used this method.

 

Is this even in the realm of the possible? If so, can someone direct me to the place to start? Thanks.
