I've worked with a different CMS and it has an interesting feature that I was trying to determine how to duplicate in GS. (I'm translating terms into GS speak so hopefully this ends up clear).
Lets say I want to create a plugin that creates a page of content.
To do this currently, as far as I know, I need to create a page, then on the page put in a plugin hook using some short code like (% whatever %). My plugin needs a add_filter hook and does a massage of $content to replace the code with the desired content.
This means my plugin parse gets called every page.
I'd like to instead have my plugin "register" a slug with GS, such that when the url is to that slug, a function in my plugin gets called to return the page content. Of course, the plugin configuration would also require picking a template to render the page with...or use the default template...?
This would allow a page to be generated with much less overhead on all the other pages.
Any suggestions/thoughts on this idea? If it worthwhile and how it could be implemented? (In the other software I used they call this feature "custom perma links".)
