This is not doable now.

I can make this doable in a couple hours work. I have been working on
exposing all Answers features over the API so that users never need to
know Lp exists. I want to create a simple, desktop indicator/lens/app
that apps can use to manage support. Projects can customise the app, and
it can be translated. Lp would just be a cloud service. I have no time
commitments though.
