Hallo
Maybe I'm wrong about what youre asking for -- but every serious programming isnt doable by "click here - click there -click anywhere"
AOO4, Libreoffice 6.1 on Rasbian OS (on ARM)
Libreoffice 7.4 on Debian 12 (Bookworm) (on RaspberryPI4)
Libreoffice 7.6 flatpak on Debian 12 (Bookworm) (on RaspberryPI4)

unopkg [1] program contained in office_installed/program directory, allows you to install some packages. So you can choose your desired language having the way to execute external command and GUI toolkit that you want to use.
If you want to use OpenOffice API, you can install extensions by /singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.ExtensionManager singleton.

Please, edit this thread's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line if your problem has been solved.
