Xcode is using a subset of Metro Works external editor API which 
TextMate supports:

Basically you need to send it an 'odoc' apple event with an extra 
keyAEPosition parameter.

An example of sending the event from Cocoa (but w/o this extra 
parameter) can be found here: http://gusmueller.com/odb/
