Create a live link to a stand only app vs plugin

I’ve seen certain programs, mostly rendering programs like Chaos Vantage and HDRI studio create a live link between their application and an host application like 3dS Max. Is this possible in Rhino?

We have a web app we are working on and rather than refactor than to c# would it be possible to create a separate electron app and then a light plugin for rhino to establish a live link between the two?

I don’t see why not.

Any insight into how this would be achieved? Something like a websocket? Not sure how to approach this
