With Daisy 1.5, it is possible to start a document task from the content
of the document basket, and it is possible to add documents to the
document basket by selecting them from the navigation tree (the
interface is still somewhat primitive as you have to mark them
one-by-one).

Otherwise, you can still use document tasks, you just have to come up
with the list of documents to process, in the correct syntax so that you
can copy-paste them in the document-list-textarea of the document task
wizard. This list could be generated by a javascript, or a possibly
easier alternative is to request the expanded navigation tree through
the HTTP API (can simply be done by entering the correct URL in your
browser) and transform it with XSLT to the required format.
