So the "_it will go away_" part was completely, and only, related to doing some 
linkup (_output or otherwise_) with SciTe from Geany ...

Makes sense.
Could a potential plugin like that also be able to facilitate active links in 
its output/tab/message window (_based on python's error messages_) that, when 
clicking on such a link, puts the cursor+focus back at a specific line in a 
specific file ?

Doubtful ... considering my almost total lack of C related experience, and 
Niel's expert code level. Besides, my first priority is knowing if a 'proof of 
concept' is actual feasible (_no point in trying if you think its not even 
feasible_). Next would be to get some  'proof of concept' working ...
