As Cosimo said, Telepathy is the IM framework used in GNOME. It's very
extensible so you should be able to write such extension. Gabble (the
XMPP backend) now has a plugin system (called 'sidecars') that you could
use.

I suggest you to drop a mail on the Telepahy mailing list if you want
more info : telepathy lists freedesktop org

Are you aware of http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0214.html ?
The spec has been deferred but maybe there are some interesting things
to get there ?
