Most editors and IDEs let you define external tools that can easily be
called from the interface. You can usually pass these tools info like
the currently edited file, the current word, the current position in
the file, etc.
Thanks to TortoiseProc, I'm hacking a quick and dirty AddIn to Visual
Studio 6 that lets me use toolbar buttons to launch TortoiseSVN's
dialogs (kind of like a poor man's SCC integration plugin). Just
clicking the "show file modifications" button from Visual Studio is
easier than using explorer to navigate to the file I was editing and
selecting the option from its right click menu :-)
In the case of "blame", it would be even better if I could open the
blame window directly on the line I was editing, instead of scrolling
there manually (I usually use blame to see if the function I'm looking
at was changed recently).

Wonderful, thank you!

Oh, right! I hadn't thought of calling TortoiseMerge directly.

I'll have a look at TortoiseMerge command line options ASAP. Ideally,
I'd like to specify the destination folder, and have it ask the path
to the patch file, like when you right click on a folder and select
"apply patch". But that's not crucial as I can always have my AddIn
open a file selector before calling TortoiseMerge.
