Get the area of interest of a layer

Question

Hi all,
Does a method exist to get the area of interest of a layer ?
In UI, it's possible by CMD+Clicking on a layer.
Regards
Thanks.

Ctrl|CMD+ clicking on a layer in the Layers Palette loads|select the layers transparency as far as I know has nothing to do with area of intrest.  I think that has more to do with content and the eye of the observer.  If all else fails The Scriptlistener may record something for Ctrl|CMD+ clicking on a layer in the Layers Palette.
