Great :)

In that case, the main ingrediant is the dialog plug-in.

If you open a new TextMate document and press ⌃R on the following  
line:

     "$DIALOG" help

It will show the available options for “showing dialogs” (⌃R runs  
the current line as a shell command).

More specifically you want to use the popup command ("$DIALOG" help  
popup).

I think the initial version of the Objectice-C completion was a simply  
command¹ which did something like:

     #!/usr/bin/env ruby
     list = `grep "^$TM_CURRENT_WORD" "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/ 
completions.tsf"`.split("\t")

Then used "$DIALOG" to show the matches (and insert the chosen one as  
a snippet).
