I think you can already do this with SPARQLMotion. Create a script that does 
what you want, and wrap it into a SPIN function that takes an 
sml:SelectedResourceArgument with spl:valueType = owl:Ontology. This will make 
the function appear in the menu Scripts > Execute script on ontology. After 
running the script, use the end dialog to infer the resulting triples (likely 
with sml:replace=true on the last sml:ApplyTopSPIN step). This way you can 
build your own inference button that does basically anything you like.

Sorry this is more work than it looks, and may not happen anytime soon.

I had similar thoughts recently for SPARQL patterns and may work on something 
like this for 3.6.

Thanks
