I've been thinking about a plug-in idea and whether it's feasible.
A first reading of Apple's browser plug-in documentation suggests that
the API is aimed at creating data handlers rather than new
general-purpose functionality. However, what I'd like to build is
something vaguely analogous to Bookmarks that allows for add, edit, and
execute functions at the user's discretion and for various kinds of
URLs, rather than driven by a MIME type.
I suppose it could be made to work using a fake MIME type associated
with some dummy document and having the user load that to trigger the
plug-in, but that sounds like an awfully hack-ish end run around the
concept.
Does something exist that I should read about providing plug-ins that
work as user-oriented UI additions?
