Write name to Macro addon?

This is for Classic

I am looking for a player frame addon that I could right click on a player frame and click an option to write a macro;

For example, say you are in a dungeon. The tanks name is "Joe". You could right click Joe's player frame and click "Set as Tank" and it would write a macro that like this;

Code:
#showtooltip
/use [harm][@Joe-target]Frostbolt
Is this even possible? I understand that Macros can't be written during combat, but something like this would be great to use at the beginning of the dungeon. This would be a way to get around not having focus...any help would be appreciated.

Set the tank to be your focus, then use
Code:
/cast [@focustarget] Frostbolt

I'm not sure if macros can use them but aren't there raid or party specific values .. raid1, party1 etc that you can use, adjust the macro prior to combat once the groups have been set in place.

Just a thought.

Yeah, I adjust my macro prior to the dungeon as it is now, but I was just looking for an addon that simplified this. Thanks, though.

I don't think you get any simpler than the @unit options. With Classic removing target specific elements what you are already doing is the next simplest thing unfortunately. Unless of course there is something out there that hasn't been documented yet.
