Sweet. I couldn't get it to work exactly as described (I had lots of problems with getting the scope of the caret right), but with some wrangling - and making sure that certain rules came in the right order - it seems to be working. I was even able to get "smart deletion" (where backspace deletes both your smart quotes) with a similar trick.
rock!

You sort of can. You need to add a rule to the language grammar, e.g.:
{ match = '%(\s)'; captures = { 1 = { name = "meta.incomplete-string-or-whatever"; }; }; },Now when you enter % in the source, the scope of the caret should be the one shown above. So create a snippet which inserts whatever needs insertion ("$1"%) and give that snippet a key equivalent of " and scope of source.remind meta.incomplete-string-or-whatever.
Then if you type %" in a source.remind file, you should get %""% with the caret in the middle, and you can press tab to skip out of this string.
The rule is made so that this only works when the character following the % is a whitespace character (which includes newlines, so it also works when typing at the end of a line).
