Not sure how far you got, but basically you have to get hold of an
IWorkingCopy of the editor input, using that you can request the CElement
corresponding to a string or offset, see ITranslationUnit.getElement()/
getElementOffset(). As an example you might have a look at the
getHoverInfo() method of CSourceHover.java (in the org.eclipse.cdt.ui
plugin), or check the CEditor class itselve.
