Plugins have no access to data beyond the track they

pretty much the nature of all plugin APIs.
For instance all plugins within a track would communicate between
themselves to take decisions. Likewise when they're on a stem or the
master buss.
Some plugin companies are interested in doing things
at the session
level, but have realized that do what they want, they need their own
DAW.
Hmmm... Network sockets, to take a common parallel, could be created by
plugins. After all this is about communication between plugins. Not
sure that a dedicated DAW would be needed.
