To fire triggers, aliases, paths, or anything else by name. If any variables required, they would be default values. Sort of like fire but by name rather than pattern. (maybe even run everything in a folder or some such thing if that is what is specified)

You can already do this with many kinds of settings. Aliases, events and functions are all called by name. Paths aren't really "called", but you can use their names in the path syntax to run them. Triggers can be activated with #fire, as you mentioned, though that's not quite what you're after, and there's nothing for buttons and macros.

If you really want to run the code in a trigger, button or macro without using the normal method (text, GUI or keypress) you'd be best to put the code in an alias and call the alias separately. You can either leave a copy of the code in whatever setting you're dealing with, or you can change it so that the setting calls the alias instead. You could also use events or functions for this, too.
