I don't mind having a txmt:// custom url sheme ! Textmate wouldn't be  
the first application to have his, and I think everybody would agree  
Textmate deserves one !

The other possibility, according to what I read here :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ 
DisplayWebContent/Tasks/MultipleWindows.html
would be to implement webView:createWebViewWithRequest in order to  
intercept the url, parse it and check for some convention that would  
correspond to custom actions in textmate.
