There was a short discussion on the mailing list [1], but
I've not seen any concrete example of what would need to be added and what this would allow the user to do.

The place for discussing possible improvements is the nano-devel mailing list.  When you send email there, please be sure to make your email self-contained: do /not/ require people to click on any URL in order to understand what you are proposing, what your proposed change would enable external tools to do, and why this is worth the trouble modifying nano for.

I was thinking on improving the way nano run external tools. I particularly like how gedit runs them, specially environment variables that are used to pass information from the editor to the external tools.

I would like to have the same possibilities (and more) in gnu nano. So, considering https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/Plugins/ExternalTools , I thought it could be a good idea to make nano call external tools with at least the following environment variables:

DOCUMENT_PATH
LINE
LINE_NUMBER
ROW_NUMBER

What do you think?
