I am thinking that it would be done in interface plugins by registering a function to be a generator for a lookup key.

I can make the plugin call the actions to register the generator functions. if possible, would it need a restart whenever a custom action is added through the module editor?

I don't see a need to restart. A second call to the registration function would override the first. If the registration function no longer exists then "normal" processing would happen.
However, this does point out the need to be able to unregister a generator.
I am going to think about this a bit
while looking at this. The idea might be an elegant solution to something I have thought about for months -- how to provide meta information about books such as author biographies and the like.
