How about making your own save, load, undo/redo methods, add your own callbacks and such and finally replace those normally found in menus or via hotkeys.
A disadvantage may be that your tool would only work in an environment that allows for this. But if you are, the advantages lies in the separation of your pipeline and the inner workings of Maya, which may come in use when tools misbehave or when an increased control over when and where signals fire is required.
