I count three separate threads to the mailing list in which you've asked this; perhaps you are not getting responses immediately because your setting for this mailing list is for (say) a daily digest rather than receiving emails as they are sent?
The answer is, yes, such an extension most probably *can* be created (GNOME Javascript, what extensions are written in, has some support for dbus; as long as LibreOffice has a DBus API to support whatever actions you wish to perform, this is achievable). So, if you really wanted to, you could. However, why would you make this a gnome-shell extension as opposed to (say) simply a python application, or even a standalone GNOME Javascript application (could be run with the `gjs` binary)? Is there any reason it needs to be tied to the shell? Does it need any shell-specific capabilities? If not, then writing it as a standalone script/application would at least mean non gnome-shell people could use it too.
