I don't know the answer, but here are two leads:

1. You could ask this guy very nicely and see if he'd be willing to  
share:

2. You can use NSDistributedNotificationCenter in other apps. I  
assume it would work inside a plugin as well (for Carbon it would  
probably be the CF version):

index.html

This option seems like total overkill, but maybe it would work for  
your needs.
