Take a look at any ... Wine's own dll.

Yes, from winelib you can call any native (OS/X, POXIX, etc) function you want. Just keep in mind how much it affects everything else (locking, synchronization, memory allocations, etc).

And you call that dll from your app the same way as you would do it on real Windows - LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, and so on.

If it's uses COM you can't do much with that outside of Wine. You can however add a library/interface into Wine, then use it to talk to the outside of Wine using any RPC of your liking.

One way or the other you will need to write something native, as Wine can't (and won't in the near future) "inject" anything into other X windows. It's made that way for a reason, so windows programs can only be told what to do.
