Background Pro Tools clip list array

This post peaked my interest:

Perhaps a bit of a long shot, is it possible to use a globalState and maintain a constantly updated list of Pro Tools clips on specific tracks without causing the UI to work the process? Ultimately, it would be better to just access whatever array / table / data Pro Tools already generates to store the timeline. This could avoid repeated, manual getClipInfo requests, and allow the user to just reference a timeline selection to pull the data.

Thoughts?
