Thanks for the feature request. I did a bit of research on this topic and it looks like this would be fairly complicated if not outright impossible to do without some questionable workarounds like abusing accessibility services. This sounds like it should be the job of a general purpose automation app, which HTTP Shortcuts is not meant to be. As such, unfortunately I will not be implementing this at the current time.
