Example of a Docky Dock

enter image description here

I have the Docky dock on my desktop. It has an anchor logo button (as seen on the left side image of the link above) that brings up the Docky settings. I want to map it so that it opens my dash instead. I believe I can do this through gconf and by setting the docky button to either my super key or the necessary path required to open the dash function (but I do not know this path or how to code a button to a keyboard key).

How can I map the docky anchor button so that it will launch the unity dash (as similar to when you simply tap the super key)?
