A (typesetting) tool probably is not the right place to implement this.
It's intended to process a (source) file as a whole, and thus has no
notion of a cursor position.

I'd suggest implementing this as a script. Have a look at the
launchPdf.js and toogleBold.js scripts coming with TeXworks to see how
to run external programs and how to get the current cursor position
(from there, you only need to count line breaks to get the line number).
