If, however, there was a way to interface with the Cocoa "complete:", then it would solve these problems. Perhaps there may be a way of doing this using an AppleScript.
I think you could write a Foundation command-line tool that calls [[NSSpellChecker sharedSpellChecker] completionsForPartialWordRange:inString:language:inSpellDocumentWithTag :] and provides its results via tm_dialog. I did a similar thing in writing a tool that asks BibDesk for citation completions, and it works pretty well.
