How can I integrate with a Windows application which lacks a plug-in architecture?

Jun 16, 2013 See the question and my original answer on StackOverflow

If you need to react when a text is clicked, you could try to use the Microsoft UI Automation technology, and in this case, UI Automation Events.

Note that depending on how the application is written, it may or may not work.

You can try the cool Inspect and Accessible Event Watcher tools at least to check if its seems feasible.
