jquery and insertText

Hi, is there a way to insert text using the jquery plugin?
What I'm trying to achieve is clicking a link external to the editor and inserting some text at the cursor position.

I'm initialising the editor like this:

 $(document).ready(function() {
        var config = {
            toolbar:
      [
         ['Source', '-', 'Bold', 'Italic', '-', 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-', 'Link', 'Unlink'],
         ['UIColor']
      ]
        };
        $('.richEditor').ckeditor(config);
    });
