Have you also metioned this to the Tomboy developers yet?

There are existing plugins which take the selected word or text chunk and
send it to a search engine, so something similar 'paste to tomboy' might
not be too difficult (if I understand your suggestion correctly, and there

I'd recommend you file a request in our bug tracker
http://bugzilla.abisource.com
Abiword Future might be an appropriate category to put a request for a new
plugin like this. You might also want to say how long this offer is valid
for, weeks, months, etc.
