I have a question regarding scripting with armory.

say for instance I was wanting to set up a custom script utilizing bitcoin's sendmany RPC command.  Normally, if I were not using the armory cold storage (or armory at all), this would be a fairly simple matter being able to just call the command.

Since I want to do this via armory's cold storage, I would need to create the offline transaction but I am having a hard time trying to find info regarding how to do this in a script as opposed to using the GUI and manually choosing every single address I want to send to.

I am envisioning a script where I can pull in a list of addresses and payment amounts, check that there are no duplicates, if there are, combine the payout amounts and send the addresses and their payments into sendmany, create the offline transaction and have it save the output to a file that I can then go to my offline wallet to sign (this I would do manually as it doesn't take much time).

Then I would just continue normally without the script from there (go back to online and broadcast it).  This would save me a ton of time manually entering addresses into armory.

I used to do this with the bitcoin client, but I moved to armory a long time ago and it's been bugging me recently.

Any insights?  Is it possible that I'm just missing an important piece to the puzzle?  Since Armory uses the bitcoin client on the backend, I wonder if the scripting would be the same, but the bitcoin client wouldn't have the offline data (ie private keys) this is what is throwing me currently.
