Why restrict the procedure to the maximum?
A better option is to create a plugin that scans the image and dumps the
coordinates of a specified value to an array or the Results table.

That way you can use it to also the specify the coordinates of pixels with
minimum, mode, etc.

Something like FindLocations(value) and returns two arrays.

What I do not know, how to do is returning the arrays to the macro language.
