It's not because it uses RegisterWindowMessage and SendMessage that there are more commands/handles that you can use. The specific window/thread must also listen to the commands. If it doesn't listen to other commands (and thus also doesn't have code to interract with it) you can't do anything else.
Also, there are many security issues in accepting more things (like you suggest). Malicious plugins could be made for example. So limitations are build in (or simply "commands" not programmed in) to prevent this.
It is true that Patchou _could_ implement lots of more stuff regarding the programming of plugins. But this wont be done because of the things above.
As it is now, you can already do tons of stuff in one way or another (look at the hundreds of plugins)...
