Use custom App to select a tool

When I edit an operation in Mastercam, I can select a tool from the tool library under Tool by pressing Tool from Library.

But then I want my app to appear, not the tool library. In this I want to configure, or select, a tool and calculate the cutting data based on the material. Afterwards I want to return this tool to Mastercam and add it to the operation tools. So I want to replace the "Tool from Library" dialog.

Can this be done in VB.NET?  And how?

My tool library lists all the tools that are in stock at our company. Also I know all cutting data and parameters of the tool. But the cutting data depends on material etc. and therefore it makes no sense to create a tool for each variant in the Mastercam tool library.
