There is no way to avoid an intermediate lossless copy unless gimp incorporates the raw-engine of darktable itself. See https://web.archive.org/web/20140912051214/http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/non_destructive_imaging.pdf for excellent explanations of lossless image editing.

it's already available using lua scripts. Have a look at https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts

    After I've worked some magic in Darktable, there's occasional
    touch-ups I must do in GIMP. Rather than having to save the file
    in a large lossless format and then open said file in GIMP which
    is something of a workflow-killer, I wonder whether an 'Open in
    GIMP' feature might be possible.

    Failing this a 'Copy Image' function might be helpful, eg. after
    clicking 'Copy Image' the user can paste into GIMP, or any other
    program that accepts raster info from the clipboard.

    Related:

    In the Lighttable under "Export selected", change "Target
    storage:" to simply "Target:", because not all the options here
    are "storage" solutions, and add an option here for "Open in
    GIMP", this might batch-open all the files in GIMP.

    ???

    (Feel free to add the above as a new ticket in GitHub)
