    If on group, there is a way through a macro. Let's, for example, throw some rocks:

    Code:
    /micon "Stone"
    /merror off
    /ac "Stone" <tt>
    That macro will cast a Stone spell on your target's target. If you're focusing the tanker, you'll attack the monster the tank is attacking.

    Yes, you can do it with any spell or action. (The action name needs to be in quotation marks if it's multiple words. With one-word spell names like these examples, the quotation marks are optional, but a good habit to get into.)

    And you place the macro itself on the hotbar. The /micon line of the macro is for specifying how the macro will look on your hotbar. For instance:
    /micon "Stone"
    means give this macro the icon of the "Stone" skill when it's placed on a hotbar.
