I'm not expert on this subject, but I tried the same thing in the past without any luck. My guess is you need to create an actual 'node' (like you said you didn't want to do) to pull this off. I was recently looking at Coral, and that's an external app that does all sorts of custom drawing inside of Maya, but it's via a plugin. But maybe bigger brains will prevail on the subject ;)
