You could write a module with two commands:

- Open Binary
- Save Binary

You'd open a blank document, select that module, choose Open Binary.  
It would prompt you for a file name and run the file through your pre- 
filter of choice (perl, ruby, python, ...) escaping the binary bytes  
into a standard format such as \xNN. The filtered output would  
replace the currently open and blank document.

Edit, edit edit.

Then select Save Binary which would reverse the operation.
