Thanks all for the suggestions on this subject. I managed to implement almost all the things I had in mind without using kiway.
>From the 3D-Viewer side, I got the board information with all the items state >(eg using IsSelected as Fabien suggested) but that only works one way Pcbnew -> Board -> 3D-Viewer I noticed that it does not work: if I set an item to be selected, pcbnew will not show it as selected. Here is where I believe it misses the use of kiway. I added in pcbnew calls to request a redraw of the 3D-Viewer (when footprint is selected or moved). It adds/touches only less than a dozen of lines of code. This should be drooped in future if using kiway, but at this moment pcbnew already request a reload of 3D-viewer on a similar fashion. I open this merge request if you would like to test it and where you can have a list of the implemented features: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/397 looking for your feedback and ideas to see if that can be more improved!
