To see how to create a new diagram and register it with ArgoUML see the sequence diagram module - http://argouml.tigris.org/svn/argouml/trunk/src/argouml-core-diagrams-sequence2
You can use this to register a diagram but the only problem is you need to specify a type which is one of the standard UML types. We may have to consider adapting his to allow some ad-hoc type to be created with some unique id for purposes such as your own. What do you mean by new types of attribute? Why do you need something different if there is no different behaviour? You are right that you will always be restricted to UML model types. If you want types then you need some way to create an attribute and automatically apply some stereotype to it. Which stereotype you apply can indicate your type. Is there some standards body that describes a Block Diagram?
