@LarsGit223 I somehow missed your 15 Jun post.

Only to have the commands in the build command menu, if you have your own menu 
thats entirely fine.

Obviously spawning is 
[available](https://www.geany.org/manual/reference/spawn_8h.html) to plugins.

But remember Geany also parses the returns of build commands for error messages 
and writes it to the compiler window so you can click and go to the line.  You 
would have to duplicate that (or expose something thats actually really messy 
and spread from breakfast to dinner inside Geany, well from build.c to msgwin.c 
to filetypes.c anyway, not good for an API).
