I’ve created one patch for the Draw/SD testing area by migrating the XDrawPagesSupplier test from Java to C++. I’m currently looking through other issues (currently #tdf172830 calc api handling for selection) and reading code around it.
Regarding the second question, I haven’t explored that area yet, so I can’t say for sure. My current understanding is that Libreoffice already has a native UNO component/extension mechanism for loading C++ shared libraries, but I haven’t yet looked into how the runtime loading works internally or whether it supports the specific use case you described.
