Is it possible to enhance the existing label system in Confluence with a plugin?

Is it possible to enhance the existing label system in confluence with a plugin?

What we want to do is to add some label suggestions to the existing ones with metadata attached. This should also be possible if one is using the autosuggest input field for labels. Therefore we have to get the wiki page text, send it to a remote Web Service and the results are the label suggestions.

If it is not possible to modify or enhance the existing default labelling system - is it otherwise possible to modify a page template from within a plugin to add a completly new extra input field additionally to the default one in confluence?

Kind regards

Some of these things could be done within a plugin.

One option might be to redirect the suggested labels action to return your custom auto suggest labels. This request doesn't send the text of the page as being edited, but you should be able to get the saved content of the page using the page id in the request.
