I heard some rumor that it is possible to modify an app by putting

I know that this is considered a bad hack...
Indeed, a very bad hack. Nevertheless, often a useful one.
So: is there any information (or some simple source code) available?
Yep. Mike Solomon has an excellent guide:
http://culater.net/wiki/moin.cgi/CocoaReverseEngineering
In brief, InputManagers can have their code automatically loaded into
all
Cocoa applications. This can be all sorts of useful if you're trying to
globally override some AppKit behavior. If you're just trying to
override
a behavior in one program, you may want to take a look at Unsanity's
APE,
which does some similar things on a per-application basis.
