That is a great question! 

Here is the honest answer - we were waiting for someone to ask that question 
before creating a way.

This is actually project policy:

To quote from the above page:

So I would like to hear from you what you how you would like to hook into the 
info tool? Can you tell me a story of what you are trying to accomplish?

As a reference point here is how it works today:
1. Right now the InfoTool turns around and opens the InfoView; passing it the 
coordinate that was clicked on. The InfoView then goes and asks each layer if 
it has something to say.
2. For the layers that do have something to say; they are listed along the left 
hand side of the info view (they are basically what the user managed to "hit").
3. If the user selects one of them the result is displayed on the right hand 
side of the info view. We have support for three things currently:
- get feature info (basically a web URL request to a WMS)
- feature details (we show the feature properties in a normal eclipse 
properties panel)
- coverage (I think this is a custom view)
