/cast [target=party1mouseover] Spell
Doesn't work.
I'm thinking this would be really useful for people who want to have healers that aren't their main.
You could use focus instead of mouseover, but then you'd need a way to reliably set focus quickly, and it would have to not be a delay to the healer.
maybe /cast [target=mouseover] Spell ?
because you cant target other character's (party1's) mouseover target, only works for your own mouse
but anyways, healing through mouseover will be pain when you need to heal on of 4 chars following you in the same place. I mean good luck targeting correct toon.
You can mouseover party unit frames. It's how I healed when I 3-boxed. I'm trying to figure out how to do this when the healer doesn't have access to a mouse or modifiers.
[target=party1focus] works, but you need a good way to control focus on your main. I wonder how well binding mouse3 to /focus mouseover would work.
:idea: thats a good idea
If I get time I will try to code it but...
an addon (configurable) that allows you to pass mouseover target information to the clones through the addon channel.
the only concern is the amount of spam it would send... perhaps have a keybind to enable the function
Bind a button to set focus to mouseover on your main. Healer uses target=party1focus. There is a delay to it though. If an addon can either free up the use of focus or shorten the delay then it might be useful to someone.
Is there a way to use this macro (without there actually being a target) for things like blizzard? or maybe to cast blizzard (or similar) in the middle of the screen or where your toon is standing;Quote:

Intriguing idea, I like it. But like Djarid mentions, it would have to be done in a separate addon. As to limitations. There would be spam, but unless you'd go waving your mouse around in Shattrath primetime, I don't see a problem. I would think the addon channel should easily be able to handle every mouseover event, when damage meters and similar addons can stay synchronized in raids. The question is will it be fast enough?
Peej: Not through regular macros. Theres software to allow for mouse cursor to be centered onscreen for example, but it wouldn't be very practical for blizzard, flamestrike etc.
An idea for Keyclone maybe? Broadcasting mousecursor position to cloned windows. Tied together with a Blizzard macro, I could see that working.
