Is it possible to capture user input/actions with Selenium WebDriver, in the same way that you can use the Selenium IDE for recording / creating tests?

i.e. when the user enters a URL, clicks a link, fills in a text box, clicks a button etc etc.

I'd like to be able to capture these actions using the WebDriver rather than just using the Selenium IDE, as I want to integrate with other classes available in my Java application.
