Using PythonScript plugin, you can write a script which is run from within Notepad++, which has access to all the features of Notepad++, including its editor panes and any plugins.
It has a great documentation set at Plugins > Python Script > Context-Help
The
notepad.runPluginCommand()(in the “Notepad++ Object” section of the Context-Help) will allow you to run an arbitrary command from one of the plugin submenus. (Similarly,notepad.runMenuCommand()will allow you to run an arbitrary command from one of the other Notepad++ menus.)Good luck.

I was remiss in not mentioning other alternatives: you should be able to do it in LuaScript, and probably NppExec. Also, I believe there’s a “jN Notepad++ Plugin”, which is JavaScript scripting for Notepad++ – if it’s like the other scripting plugins, it also probably has access to the Notepad++ Plugins menu items.
Each of these should be accessible from the Plugin Manager or easily found through favorite search engine.
