What functionality do you expect of such thing? The HTML output window  
is not much more than a WebView, no real API here. It is asked to load  
“tm-internal://«id»” which triggers a custom URL handler which is  
responsible for feeding the NSURLConnection with data from the command  
running.

So if I understand your goal correctly, you would probably be much  
more interested in this custom URL handler.

E.g. when you want to execute a search, you open whatever window you  
defined in your nib containing just an instance of a WebView, and you  
bind the URL of this WebView so that you can ask it to load something  
like: tm-run-command:///usr/bin/find?arg1=.&arg2=-name%3D*.rb/ (just  
making up URL scheme for illustrative purposes).
