I assume this aint close to reality but since I m a total noob I ll ask it anyways:

Isnt there a way to get 2 mouse pointers at the same time?

I have 2 monitors and usually have 1 application open at the same time on each screen so if I wanted to control the application on my 2nd screen that I m not currently monitoring/using myself , I d like autohotscript to be able to while I m still occupied by the application on the 1st screen.

Now, this isnt possible since it will interfere with the single mouse pointer. If I m clicking away at something, autohotscript suddenly steals the pointer and vice versa.

Thus, cant we have 2 mouse pointers at the same time, 1 that i m controlling with the actual physical mouse and another virtual pointer that autohotkey can use at the same time running a macro on another program on my 2nd screen?

depends what you want to do, you can use commands like controlclick control send to operate a macro that does not interfere with the mouse/keyboard

Also stuff like sendmessage can assist in such a non invasive macro.

But this all depends on what you want to automate.
