There was an RFC about this, as well, but it wasn't really discussed:

Are you implying the thing should be a plugin? Not knowing much about
recent Evolution developments, is the plugin system ready enough to
allow this kind of thing? I wouldn't much like poking around it if it's
not ready enough yet...

The method the mockup from the bounty suggests would seem like a very
neat place to put things, so would it be allright to make a hook in the
Evo code, or should I really stay away from it?
