Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it. But it's not that easy.
Calibre uses the GUI thread as the lock on the database. So there's no way (that I know of) to properly invoke a plugin in the GUI, from outside the GUI.
You could make a bookmarklet that used the FFDL web service version and save it to calibre's auto-add directory. Or use a browser add-on to call the FFDL CLI (or plugin CLI) to download and save it to calibre's auto-add directory. But that wouldn't help with updates and couldn't call the other plugins that FFDL integrates with.
