Sorry about that. My mistake. This should work:

Does this include sounds configured in Preferences (for Sent Message and
Counters)?

It is not currently possible, but I would like it to be possible. I'll
think about how it can be implemented. Let me know if you have any
particular requirements.
I can add that I also think it should be possible to trigger such
scripts on selected messages. (I cannot give you a time frame though,
but interesting use cases are always an inspiration.)

Well, not directly, but you could let the inline script call an external
script.
