That's a problem with (or rather limitation in) the LDDP plugin interface.
Plugins are expected to do *one* thing, and then return to LDDP. I don't
know anything about the LDDP source, who's maintaining it, etc.

No. A plugin doesn't have access to any of the LDDP settings, doesn't know
the path to LDView, doesn't know the name of the (temporary?) file LDDP is
editing, and so on. I would have to duplicate all the code to find LDView,
start a separate copy of it on a temporary file etc. Too much work :-(

Shouldn't be too difficult. No promises about when, though...

That would be another plugin - ReplaceColors (it's not written yet), or
rather directly built into LDDP.
