Well. I author something similar, it's a bridge to use AHK from Python, but when it comes to this idea of a fully structured means of passing data between the two platforms that's something that this package implements.

betterletter

2 10 7.2 Python

Substitute alternative spellings of special characters (e.g. German umlauts [ae, oe, ue] and [ss]) with their correct versions (ä, ö, ü, ß).

meaning it not only replaces Umlauts and Eszett, it also knows when not to (Poeten), and handles arbitrary compound words. Write your text, slap it all into the tool, it spits out results instantly. The original text can use alternative spellings (ou, ae, ue, ss), which is ergonomic. Combined with tools like AutohotKey, GUI integration through a single keyboard shortcut is possible. See [0] for a similar example.
A niche need I haven't yet come across someone else having as well! (just the amount of text explaining what it's all about is saying a lot in terms of specificity...)
The tool now grew into a tree-sitter based (== language grammar-aware) text manipulation thing, mostly for fun. The bizarre German core is still there however.
