I'm not an expert in MPLAB, but if you don't find a built-in solution,
there are 3rd party tools that can help work around such limitations. 

PowerPro is one that allows to define key shortcuts that trigger a certain
key sequence only when a specific application is active. (Among lots of
other things.) A key sequence can be problematic in that it may not work in
all application states, but often that limitation can be lived with.

AutoIt3 is one that allows to (relatively) easily write code that automates
GUI applications. I use it to provide a command line interface to ICD2
programming with MPLAB to my build tools.
