I was doing something like that some time ago with my plugin experiments.
One of the things they can do is take a *source archive* of a Gambas
project, compile and archive it and then load the executable archive as
a new component (this needs a small patch to the interpreter, to remove
a restriction on component paths). From there, the main application can
instantiate exported classes as usual.

Actually, I planned for tomorrow to write some custom dialogs into a
plugin for my image viewer. I don't think this will be a problem.
