This is what the concept of DSLs are/were... Famous example, Photoshop. UI that makes complex things seem simple...and a scripting language under the hood which ties into the (incredibly complex) internal operations, for the multitude of things you really can't do in a UI... and instead you get "plugins" with specialized code doing those complex, not possible to generalize in a simple UI, tasks.
