Not entirely sure what you talking about, but you can add a custom block
wrapper for basically anything. It doesnt have to be a real gr block.
Make a custom block wrapper without any inputs or outputs, and put your
special code in the <make>blah</make> that instantiates your object.
A good example is the xmlrpc server:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/grc/data/platforms/python/blocks/xmlrpc_server.xml
Its not a signal processing block, but it will start an xmlrpc server
and a thread inside your flow graph.
If your code is more complicated than that, you can encapsulate anything
into a python module, install it into the python path, and instantiate
it using the block wrapper <make>.

What is the best way to "tack on" functionality to a GRC-generated
flowgraph--that is, things that are outside of
the Gnu Radio "environment" but still important to your application.
I'd like to add things like a timeout function that "does things" from
time to time, as well as other important tasks, initializations,
etc.
