The plugin API needs more direct access to menu operations. For example, if I want to invoke the save file behavior I do this:

self.menubar = self.window.get_children()[0].get_children()[0]
self.save_menu = self.menubar.get_children()[0].get_submenu().get_children()[9]
self.save_menu.activate()

It would be better to have a save_action_on_document(document) convenience function.

You can use the UIManager API for that:
window.get_ui_manager().get_action('/MenuBar/FileMenu/FileSaveMenu').activate()
