There is a mechanism called a 'hack' that might do what you want but I don't know a lot about those so will leave that area for someone else to comment on.
What you could consider doing is building a shared library (very similar to a Windows DLL) that applications can use to support this functionality. You could then modify the standard Palm apps to use this library and release these applications (my understanding is that this Palm allows this sort of extension using the 'sample' code provided with the SDK). The library could also be sold to other developers so that they can enhance their products in the same way.
