Extending functionality of the RichTextEditor

[banang]

I'm using your RichTextEditor in my project, and now have the need to extend its functionality by adding support for links and images. However, very little of the underlying component api is exposed, which makes this very hard (if even possible) to do. I have two questions:

1. I need to get at the manu bar of the editor to add more buttons. How do I do this?
2. Unlike the TextAreaItem, the RTE does not have any way of getting the current cursor position or selection range, as far as I can tell. How can I get at this information?

If you want to add links and images support, you're better off integrating fckEditor or tinyMCE. There's a sample of integrating fckEditor in the smartgwt-extensions Google Code project.
