You could use a macro which does first the save to a temp file and then runs the user tool you have configured. Something like:

Clipboard 9
ToggleBookmark
SelectAll
Copy
EndSelect
GotoBookMark -1
ToggleBookmark
NewFile
Paste
SaveAs "C:\Windows\Temp\Testfile.tmp"
CloseFile
ClearClipboard
Clipboard 0
RunTool "case-sensitive name of your user tool"
