In the past, there were some efforts to allow a DLL/so to use the GUI of 
the main program and e.g. create additional forms in that context.

AFAIK, this is possible by synchronizing the memory manager and passing 
some pointers for application and/or forms.

The downside is:
  - I seem to remember that it is quite complicated to do
  - this is only possible if the main program is done with Lazarus as well
  - I don't know if the GUI designer can be used for this.

So your works seems to offer a better choice.
