Hi Philippe,

calling plugins, including passing the 'arg' String to them, is handled in
  IJ.runPlugIn(String commandName, String className, String arg)

In a plugin, you can call this method directly.

For calling a plugin with an 'arg' in a macro, without defining it in plugins.conf, you can write a simple plugin that has a static method with three string arguments and passes them to this method.  Then you can use the 'call' macro directive, e.g.

  call("My_Dispatcher_Plugin.dispatchPlugin", "Radial Profile Angle", "Radial_Profile_Angle_Ext", "about");

assuming that My_Dispatcher_Plugin has a method

  public static void dispatchPlugin(String commandName, String className, String arg) {
    IJ.runPlugIn(commandName, className, arg);
  }

The argument passed to the run(arg) method is unrelated to the arguments passed to GenericDialogs.
