Sorry for the delayed reply.  In this posting on the en-Forum, Hanya gives a 
short example oxt file (written in python).

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=387917#p387917

I have looked at smart tags from time to time, but always been distracted by 
something else.  My immediate thoughts are that (for me) they might be useful 
if general routines were written to permit certain words be recognised (as 
tags) and the action associated with them be the popping up of an associate 
database entry or reports.  I'm thinking in terms of the background information 
concerned with writing a complex text, be it a fiction or a historical 
analysis.  This is a different method of implementing what is often called a 
"Writer's Organiser".  I remark that I find the default "smart tag" underlining 
is barely visible.

Hanya's example requires one to enter a tag of form !(text_word) (no white 
space) and when it is ctrl clicked upon it will be replaced by an environmental 
variable. His Recogniser uses a python regular expression to identify the tags.
