Possible? Yes. A good idea? Maybe not.

There is an ltk-connection object in *wish*, which has an event-queue slot,
containing any buffered events. If you were to add events there, they would
be processed as though they had come from the wish process.

However, pushing things onto that list won't cause the Ltk main loop to
process them; for that, its call to read-preserving-whitespace must return.
If you know your implementation well enough, this should be enough to get
you going. If you need more help, you probably shouldn't be messing with
the event queue.
