Interplugin communication

Is there a way to make plugins talk to each other? If there isn't, could such a thing be added to HISE so that HISE plugins are able to talk to each other, even between different developers?

we could all agree a spot(folder/directory/file location) to use...and a file format ..then poll it for messages..

That would work for static data in deferred callbacks but wouldn't be useful for real-time. The thing that got me thinking about this is connecting up different string libraries for divisi and having them auto-split the MIDI parts between different plugins. This is possible in Kontakt is several NKIs are housed in the same instance.

@d-healey A server system from juce can be used for that kind of communication but it isn't easy to implement for what I've seen
I reckon it's InterprocessConnection with namedPipe
