    Does pyautogui have anything like the WinActive and Control functions in Autohotkey? I am looking for an alternative that's cross-platform and can still detect certain things like window names and controls. I can't really use screen coordinates because the gui elements change position all the time in the software that I want to automate, so that's where the Control functions would come in. It would allow me to take a specific window control and click it relative to its position, rather than relative to the mouse or screen.
