Er, an app must specifically be written to support plugins - you can't just write a plugin for any old app and add something to it's menu!  Well, not "really" anyway - though such thinks can be accomplised via code injection (the details of which I wont go into, so don't ask)

The only way is to read it's docs - there are a 1001 different ways of implmenting plug-in-style archectetures on any platform, no one is used by all.

Is the app in question a symbian app?

I should also say it's rare (at least on symbian) for an app with a UI frontend to support plugins - at least its rare-er than server type apps (such as ECOM, ESOCK etc).
