Andrew mentioned a macro to do this, but you could possibly also do it by 
adding your own UNO component ( derived from one or 2 of the classes in the 
UCB ( Universal Content Broker) ). This should be possible to do using 
various programming languages (e.g. C++, java, python, and maybe even 
StarBasic). To get more info on this have a look at http://api.openoffice.org 
for the "Developers guide" for the UCB chapter. Note that this is a large 
document for a very rich framework, so it will obviosly take some time to 
read and understand. The best mailing list to ask about more specific info 
would be [email protected] (for UCB related issues) and 
[email protected] for more general UNO programming and component 
development. I think that you will find that there are other quite interested 
in this topic also.
