Does this thing necessarily have to be a plugin to function? It looks like you could create an iconless application instead and launch it with a tmCommand.
There's no technical barrier to just grabbing the window's current (possibly unsaved) text from a plugin. In fact, it would probably be easier. Then again, I have no idea what a tmCommand is...
I'm looking into this, but at the moment, I'm thinking a plugin is more appropriate than a separate, pseudo-app. But I welcome input from anyone who knows more.

That would give you the ability to parse the unsaved version by simply piping the contents of the window to a temporary file using the tmCommand.

Specifies that an application is background-only but has a UI as well (usually a floating utility window). No menu bar or Dock icon, with the exception that it may have an NSStatusItem.
