Catch a Hyperlink & Send To Notepad

I'm trying to make a plug-in to catch a hyperlink and send it, along with some other details, to a Notepad window. It seems I'm hindered by the fact the Hyperlink() function only outputs to the active World window.

Question one: Is it in any way possible to change $world (as in $world->hyperlink in Perl) to refer to the Notepad window?

Question two: Could an easy way of sending a hyperlink to a Notepad window be added, if one doesn't exist already?

The notepad is a pure text-only window. It doesn't support hyperlinks and "smart clicks".

The main world window has a heap of code "under the hood" to detect things like hyperlinks (eg. from MXP) and also different colours, styles, etc.
