Well, I know that Illustrator has the following entry in its dictionary 
(an property of the application class taking an enumerated type):

user interaction level interact with all/interact with local/interact 
with self/never interact -- what level of interaction with the user 
should be allowed when handling script commands

Of course, in photoshop or Illustrator, this is of critical importance 
for running large batches. If something similar were implemented in 
Outliner, that would be excellent.
