 * Hi there, this plugin really does what it says and plus, does it very nicely!
   Thank you! I am using this with my shortcode plugin. I am wondering if it is 
   possible to read json file from plugin directory? In shortcode-button.js i see
   you define template_path.stylesheet_directory as the location of json file. I
   do not want to directly modify the code to make that happen personally, wishing
   that the feature would be added in coming updates…
 * Thank you.

 * Is there an update on this?
 * I’ve got a similar issue to Chie, however I can see a situation where several
   plugins would want to look to this helper to manage the admin.
 * For example:
    Plugin 1: Anchor Shortcode Plugin 2: RSS feed shortcode Theme: 
   misc shortcodes
 * Currently I can hook the theme up to the shortcode helper but the plugins are
   left in the dark.
 * Would this be possible to build in? Or does anyone know a workaround?
