Plugin for Javascript to interact with desktop window

I am looking for a way to give my gwt web application the ability to acces and send inputs to an open desktop window.

Basically it should just work similar to the java.awt.Robot class, being capable of analyzing the screen Data and sending (primarily mouse) inputs to either a specific window or any coordinate on the current Screen.

I was unable to find any common interface that does something like that, so I hope that I just oversaw something or somebody has an Idea how this can be achieved.

NOTE: I know that I could just convert the application to a Desktop variant, but I would prefer a more simple and less time-consuming solution.

If the browser is IE on Windows, you can use ActiveX. For other situations, you will have to develop your own plugin for each browser.
