hmmm maybe with something like this:
Activate tree manipulation, select top node, then combine multiple sendkey DOWN until you reach the bottom (or END) ... (you can check if the selection change) then use again sendkey LEFT to collapse and UP to go up the tree until you reach the top.

catia.activewindow.layout = catWindowSpecsOnly

As this will hide the geometry, it does activate the spec tree.
