Override textframes who are only on the pasteboard and not on a page

Question

Hello together
with Applescript it is possible ot override certain elements who are on a page which are coming from a master spread. But how to override frames which are not on a page but only on the pageboard?
Until now my solution is to place these elements on the page and after they override command to move them out to the pasteboard :-/

@xtraMike1 – in InDesign's UI you can override the right square in Jongware's screenshots by cmd + shift + click (Mac OS).
Also in scripting.
Example:
1. The object to override is at least part of the bleed area (or the info area)
2. I can identify it as pageItem by its ID (in my example here: 212)
I like to override it on page 1.
The following JavaScript (ExtendScript) will do that.
Sorry for no AppleScript code example from me.
app.documents[0].pageItems.itemByID(212).override(app.documents[0].pages[0]);
InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.3) on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (all German).
In screenshots:
After executing the script snippet:
So the solution seems to be expanding the bleed or info area and then override the object.
