Question - Mercenary DPS Tracking

I am curious as to the DPS of a caster merc.

So I'm thinking of embedding an event in my favorite mac to track its DPS. First issue I came upon was that ${Mercenary} & ${Mercenary.Name} returned MercName#####. I can't build an event on that so I tried ${Mercenary.ShortName} but ShortName doesn't exist. I could parse out the numbers, but I can't do that prior to needing the name to create the event. I was thinking something like:
Rich (BB code):
#Event MercHit            "|${Mercenary}| hit #1# "

Obviously without extrapolating the ShortName I can't do that. But I like the idea of dynamically assigning the MercName so I don't have to hardcode anything.

I found this via Google: Mercenaries. I don't know how much of it applies, and I can't seem to get much of it to respond with macro code (meaning it appears relegated to internal MQ2 - and that only if the devs have created the structs and exposed them for the masses).

Anyone have any ideas?
