if i understand what you need correctly, this will indeed be a common issue
among applications, and i think it requires (at least to do it non-hackishly
:) to be able to tag plugins with information that can be used in a generic
fashion .. e.g. tagging the notes plasmoid in some way  such that KDevelop
will be able to know that it is useful to it, without the notes plasmoid
having to actually say explicitly "use me in KDevelop" (since other apps
 will also want it, apps the notes plasmoid author doesn't know yet)

notes applet already does that, but only if a file is passed in .. which
makes it a bit dodgy. that bit of the framework really ought to be
re-thought out somewhat. right now we just pass in a string as the second
 arg and it is assumed to be a file. i was never very happy with that.
