A supported plugin api is planned for rviz2, which is hopefully coming in e-turtle.  Unfortunately the current plugins are not powerful enough for your use-case.

Hi all,

I'm looking to make a plug-in for rviz for a waypoint management node. Basic overview, I had a plugin that has a connected graph of waypoints in the real world. I want to make a plugin for rviz to be able to display these waypoints and also allow the user to select a waypoint and when selected send that as a goal. I know I can just send markers and lines to rviz to display the waypoint network but I don't see any way I can make it perform and an action when selected. This is why I was looking to make my own plugin.

Does anyone have any ideas or know when the plugin API for rviz is going to be released?
