[MonoDevelop] Accessing the Output Window in the API

I am reevaluating MD for the first time in several years. Coming from VS, one small thing that I notice that MD doesn't do is jump to the location in source code if you double click a line in the output window that contains a source file name and line number (such as from a stack trace). I was going to try to add that capability as an addin as a way of learning the MD API; but an initial reading of the API documentation and Google search seems to indicate that the API does not provide access to the output window, or any other tool window. Is that the case, or am I missing something? If it is the case, would an extension of the API that provided such access be valuable? I might consider trying to implement such an extension. Otherwise, I will see if I can implement the jump to source functionality in the IDE code itself.
