Adding a 'Scripts' Menu Item
Hello,
Is it possible to add a ‘Scripts’ menu item for whatever application you choose so as to be able to run scripts in that app?
Thanks.

You can enable a Scripts menu item on the Finder menu bar via the Script Editor's Preferences : General panel. You then have the choice of whether application scripts appear at the top, or bottom of this menubar menu. This Finder script menubar item remains after Script Editor has quit, and it will not place a script menu on applications.
Not all applications are scriptable with AppleScript as the author chose not to provide AppleScript support.

Enabling the Scripts menu will allow you to run scripts in an app. That can be done from the Script Editor, General tab.
The menu will always show in the status menu area of the menu bar, but otherwise, I think it would accomplish what you desire.
Not as part of OS X. You will need a third-party app for that or it would have to be a part of the app itself.
