How do you programmatically press a toolbar button using AppleScript?

Question

I hope this is not too obvious, but I would like to press one of the toolbar buttons in the application using AppleScript.

Background: The button does not have a menu item or shortcut keys. Thus, I cannot activate it with any of these methods; I need to find the way AppleScript is actually a click away.

:

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "OmniFocus"
        click button 3 of tool bar 1 of window 1
    end tell
end tell

How do you link to a toolbar button by name / description? I know that a button has a description attribute with the value: "Contexts". But then again, how can I refer to it in a click statement?
