The subst program worked fine for me.  Same setup, but 7.5.2 on a 9500.
I needed to take a look at the code to see what it does (in the TEXT
code resource).  Highlight a section in your BBEdit window which contains 
the word "hello" and select the "subst" program.

As far as writing your own scripts for the glue, read through BBEdit.pm
to see what procedures are available to interact with BBEdit.  I imagine
that the reference files for BBEdit plugins would have more information
on exactly how these routines interact.
