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).
