A great trick is to use the "Copy as Applescript" feature.

Draw what you want, say, a line with a hollow arrow.

Select it, and use Edit > Copy as > Applescript

Then, in Script Editor, "paste". And you see the applescript necessary  
to recreate what you just drew, which in this case is -

tell application "OmniGraffle Professional"
	tell canvas of front window
		make new line at end of graphics with properties {point list: {{79,  
208}, {220, 266}}, head type: "Arrow"}
	end tell
end tell


I don't think I would have ever got anywhere applescripting  
OmniGraffle without this great Copy as Applescript feature!
