There is no way to directly access the internals of a plugin. There were
some previous discussions but it was always concluded that this
shouldn't be done.
I even wrote a patch once that exposed some globe internals as a plugin-api.

If it's just opening the globe your best option is to search in the
menus for the action and trigger this directly.
