I do not want to write this dataformat to just one file. So perhaps
these filters won't do it. In my case these scenarios are more applicable:

* One opened text document should be stored into several files
(different information in different files).
* One opened text document should be stored to another place than a
local file (raw-data upload on a server, stored into some other
dataformat encapsulated or even stored in a database).

Hope this will help you to better understand my requirements. I even do
not know if it IS possible or not? Perhaps there is no interface for
this kind of data-processing.

In my case this won't help me I guess?! I need something more abstract.

I will do that for sure, but first I will need to fix this problem :)
