Stefan,
When you get a search result using the ReplaceSupport product I think 
it would be great if next to every link there's a little 
ExternalEditor pen for the ExternalEditor product for those who have 
that installed.
I tried quickly and it works but I'm not sure how good it is.
What I tried was this,  around line 80 in dtml/replaceResults.dtml
<!-- Peter addition -->
  <dtml-let explicit="_.getitem('sequence-item').aq_explicit"
        parent_url="explicit.aq_parent.absolute_url()">
    <dtml-if expr="_.hasattr(explicit, 'manage_FTPget')
                   or _.hasattr(explicit, 'read')
                   or _.hasattr(explicit, 'document_src')">
      <a href="&dtml-parent_url;/externalEdit_/<dtml-var 
"explicit.getId()">"
         title="Edit using external editor"
      ><img src="&dtml-BASEPATH1;/misc_/ExternalEditor/edit_icon"
            align="middle" hspace="2" border="0" alt="External Editor" 
/></a>
    </dtml-if>
  </dtml-let>
  <dtml-if locked_in_version>
    <dtml-if modified_in_version>
      <img src="&dtml-BASEPATH1;/p_/locked"
       alt="This item has been modified in this version" />
    <dtml-else>
      <img src="&dtml-BASEPATH1;/p_/lockedo"
       alt="This item has been modified in another version" />
       (<em>&dtml-locked_in_version;</em>)
    </dtml-if>
  </dtml-if>

In my product QuickLinks 
(http://www.zope.org/Members/peterbe/QuickLinks) I override the same 
stuff as ExternalEditor does if you wanna see how I made the 
distinction between having and not having ExternalEditor installed
With the current version of ExternalEditor, you can save about nine 
lines and simply put

<dtml-var expr="externalEditLink_(this())">

for each item.
