Exactly how it would work, yes. The command would have output set to  
HTML, and would generate a list of links with hrefs of the form  
txmt://open.....
The other approach would be to create a plugin like tmcodebrowser,  
that has a nice floating window out there, and models what  
tmcodebrowser is doing, but doing a manual parse instead of using ctags.

The grammar already recognizes certain comments and adds them to the  
symbols list, namely "TeXshop style" comments starting with %:
So:
%: hello
should add "hello" in the symbols list.
The impossible task in this case is to have those symbols link to  
other files, ASAICT.



Btw, I don't know who is maintaining the R bundle, but I was planning  
to work a lot on it during the summer, so I will add proper handling  
of comments at that point, again if noone beats me to it.
