Yes, in fact we already do this for the lstlisting environments. It  
requires changing the grammar a bit, by adding some rules, and of  
course also to know what  the special syntax/completions you want to  
perform are. We already have three special completion behaviors:
1) When typing a command, like "\bet", pressing escape will complete  
based on a fixed set of commands, in this case it will complete to  
\beta. If you find some commands missing, we can add them.
2) When inside a \ref{},  escape completes using all \label{} entries.
3) When inside a \cite{}, escape completes using bibliography entries.

So what you want is doable, provided you specify the syntax needed  
between the \begin-\end groups.
