Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There currently seems to be a gap in good integration between kanata and other apps for simple things like inserting the current date #275 (reply in thread)

Describe the solution you'd like.

I think on Windows this could have a good workaround by allowing users to use WinAPIs send/postmessage to AutoHotkey, which opens a a lot of possibilities since AHK is quite capable of doing various scipting tasks

The way it'd work is AHK would have a listener to specific message ids (user controled) with a callback doing whatever the user wants to do. Then kanata can be asked on a given keystroke to simply send/post the message with this id and let AHK do the rest

Describe alternatives you've considered.

All the other methods mentioned in other issues/discussions from internal commands and scripting language and extending TCP for this type of communication to wasm plugins
