For controlling a Clip’s loop, I wouldn’t fiddle with trying to click on the loop brace so that shortcuts could be applied to it. I’d use ClyphX, which can control loops (among many, many other things) in a variety of ways that can be triggered via MIDI controls, clips, locators and shortcuts. It’s also free.

Personally, on OS X, I would look into the operating system’s built-in abilities to assign shortcuts to menu items and powerful AppleScript functionality, which can be triggered by shortcuts, before considering a paid utility. There’s tons of tutorials and info on this sort of stuff.
