I would like to make the opposite request, that the current behavior remains. Editing the captured PNGs to contain transparent regions is the easiest way to interact with GUI elements that change according to time or date.

For example, a calendar popup is launched by clicking on the current date. It's not always feasible to match nearby landmarks and use offsets to get to where the current date is displayed. Removing the date section of the image and making it transparent will cause it to match _any_ date.
