Scripting Clippings

Is there a way to add items to a clippings outline using a script?  I'd 
like to be able to write something like.

set textToBeAdded to ... -- something here specific to the app I'm 
using, like the title and URL of the current Safari page
tell default clippings outline of application "OmniOutliner 
Professional"
	make new clipping with text textToBeAdded
end

I could script it so OO opens the right outline and does the insertion, 
but it would be nice to be able to take advantage of the logic that 
already exists to insert a new date and time stamp as necessary.

Thanks,

Curt
