| Jan 19, 2021 at 1:32 | comment | added | temochka | I also did more research and I agree with your conclusion that this cannot be done: the underlying Apple Event is limited to fetching a strictly defined range of entries. With that in mind, the solution in your answer seems to be the best option I have for my purposes so I’m going to accept it. Thanks! | |

| Jan 16, 2021 at 3:18 | comment | added | user3439894 | @temochka, I've update my original answer to first explicitly answer the question you asked which unfortunately is no, and to provide a smart way of coding a loop if you want to go that route. If you don't want to go that way just let me know and I'll delete the answer. | |
