Is it possible to inject menu bar functionality into spotlight? - 2 views

  Just moved to osx after using Windows and Linux, so far I am loving spotlight!
  
  I don't really like the menu bar though, it would be great if there was a way to get rid of it, and have it's functions on spotlight.
  
  For example it would be great If I am running Ableton and I could just open spotlight, type export and it will open the export menu. Or go on premiere, open spotlight type pref and it opens the preferences menu.
  
  That would be fantastic since I wouldn't have to relearn all the keybinds that I need, It would be significantly faster than going through the menus on the menu bar, and I can also just remove it and maximize productivity by having the app I am using completely fullscreen.
  I have already found flashlight and it seems fantastic! Though writing out each command manually for each application would be a pain in the ass. I was wondering if someone else has done something like this, or maybe if there is some sort of API for the menu bar that could help? https://omegle.onl/
  
  I would love some insight, how would you guys go about doing a project like this?
