Perform a script action in the editor

I wonder, is it possible with WebStorm/PhpStorm to perform an action with a own script in the editor? What I want is: I have some text in my web application, I want to make the site i18n, so I will take this text, surround it with some special code (I guess no problem with "Surround with Live Template"), but in addition I want to take this text and automatically put it into a json file for translation (with a special script of my own, to save me from copy the text, switch file, paste and then switch file back). Is this possible?

You can configure your script as external tool (Settings/External tools) and pass the current file as a parameter to it (using $FileName$ macro, for example). Then you will be able to use menu action/shortcut to run your script for current file from WebStorm/PHPStorm. But this will only work for files, not for selected lines of code. If you miss a possibility to pass a selected block to external tool, please vote for IDEABKL-6913
