You can already do that, indeed many people do. Check out the 'pd-msg'
documentation included in Pd-extended or the code of nqpoly4.

Hello pd,
Wouldn't it be nice to live-connect between the textfile and pd? For
example typing text like <#X connect 0 0 1 0;>, execute (like
<enter> in Supercollider) to let pd show up the connection. And vice- versa creating and object in pd that becomes immediately visible in
the textfile. As far as i know it's not possible but please tell me
if I'm wrong. I guess this would offer opportunities for live-coding
purposes, especially when objects also would be ranged statically by
your own given arguments (numbers and/or strings, whatever).
Different objects with the same (part of the) argument could then be
connected to another object or group of objects typing only one
short line of text. I read <iemguts> offers some patching
possibilities with the [canvas*]-objects, but I haven't figured that
out yet. I'll probably try to soon.Kind regards,
