I just went through some of the mails in the last 2 months today and marked
the run-pref-change stuff for myself as I want to work on that soon(ish).
That will allow you to have custom target types with custom config UI (and
of course custom run-jobs), so should fulfill your needs. My current plan
is to write that in the next 1-2 weeks, but of course depends on my
motivation.

Regarding the internal browser thing: A "OutputView" as in similar to the
ones we have right now is probably not an option due to its design, but
you're of course free to provide a custom toolview that embeds the
webkitpart and/or khtmlpart.
