Has anyone figured out a way to change discs using AHK and without having to manually navigate the emulator? It seems as though there is an issue with this. Here are the two related threads...

MultiGame doesn't work using AHK currently because Dolphin hides itself from Winspector Spy and we cannot send any commands to the emulator through scripts.

I found this post very confusing. You didn't describe any of your terms, and the links you give talk about Dolphin not supporting "multigame" "multi-game" and "multi game" which I read as "Multi-disc games", leading me to think they were about Dolphin not supporting games with more than one disc. Except in one of the threads someone talked about Dolphin's change disc function, so I did a double take. I'm assuming they are referring to something called "MultiGame", which is some sort of software maybe? Except that name is so aggressively generic I can't find it at all! And I'm assuming AHK to be "AutoHotKey", the super powerful but super hard to use hotkey software.

Aaaanyway! I'll just assume you want to use some sort of script or hotkey to change discs. In one of the threads you linked, we have a change disc hotkey already, and it brings up the change disc prompt with the cursor in a known location. So you could, in theory at least, create a script that engages the hotkey, types in the location of the next disc into the prompt, and hits enter to engage it.

I should mention that Dolphin doesn't have many multi-disc games, and we already have easy ways to switch them through the UI (right click the game in the game list and select "change disc", easy). So time investment in this is reeaaally not worth it.

For those using launchers like RocketLauncher it is a super necessity. I know that Dolphin already supports multi disc games, however I don't know of anyone that wants to stop their game play, get the mouse, and start clicking around. I will forward your post to the admins on the RL forum and see if they can do something with the info you provided. I'm sorry my post wasn't more informative, however I do not know the correct jargon to do with all this considering that I am not a programmer.

Thanks!
