I don't believe so -- I'm pretty sure the the grab command relies on the
mouse state.

If you want to script grab or drag/drop behavior, you have to use the
built-in drag/drop commands, or you can script your own drag routine.  One
example was recently posted on the list (execute in your Rev message box):

Eric Chatonet also has some drag/drop examples among his numerous tutorials.
