If you want to know all details, you best option is figuring it out from the code at github, as there is no real documentation/description. You may start with https://github.com/sagemath/sagecell/blob/master/backend_cell.py Basically, plots are saved as files and these files are embedded into the output via HTML, so the browser loads them as usual images, there are no special communication channels etc. In "automatic" cases the plots are displayed, for manually saved ones a link is displayed below the output. The way how HTML tags are inserted into a page with embedded cells does not differ much for pictures and text. Again your best bet for all details is the source code, although you should use develop branch: https://github.com/sagemath/sagecell/tree/develop (I hope it will be finished and deployed in a month or so).
