Yep, it would require sort of a jailbreak to access functionality outside the game's sandbox. The only (semi-legal?) way would be if there is a possibility to write custom messages into a log file, even if it's just the game engine's logfile, and have the desktop app do a keyword parsing.

While pChat could save a chat log and restore it on restarting the game, the variable save files aren't updated on time, but only on /reloadui or logging out. I guess the save buffers are flushed only on deconstructing the old game object instances. So this avenue is definitely out.

ESO Toolbox comes very close to it, since it does allow modification of the core settings file, for example to extend the LUA memory. It may be possible to dastardly abuse this to put payload into a custom variable, but the operative word is "abuse" here. Guess it wouldn't been taken lightly.
