I'm not so bothered about Safari/Mail, I just used Safari as an example of what I wanted to do. I'd rather focus on doing it with NSTextView as that is what the majority of text editing apps use.
I have - since I first asked the question - been using the Accessibility API's to find out information about a text view(s) in other apps, however my main target is to have access to the NSTextView's delegate methods specifically 'textView:didCheckTextInRange:types:options:results:orthography:wordCount:' to find out when auto-complete occurs. Whether or not this next step is possible, I am not sure.
