Scripting dependent renders

Is it possible to script the equivalent of dragging an output module to the project window and dragging the resulting placeholder back to the render queue?
I would like to completely automate the rendering of Avid QT preview versions of our hi res Cineon or DPX renders. I am assuming I can walk the render queue and access each of the items scheduled for render, but I am not sure whether I can script the creation of a placeholder from an output module.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out. You have to add the postRenderAction method and add an importPlaceholder one too.

I spoke too soon. The imported placeholder isn't tied to the Output Module's Post Render Action. Does anyone know how to do this? Paul? Lloyd? Anyone??
