This is certainly one of the possible uses of it, and it already has some
functionality for you to send a molecule to it, and display it (integration
with MongoChem). It would need to be extended to enable editing a molecule.

There would be some Doxygen, but your best bet is reading through the code
in Avogadro 2 for the listener. If we want to start doing more complex
things with it, then it may need refactoring at some point to support that.
