Ok so it sounds like you have already figured out how to add content to the composer? (If not, referencing this example may help [GitHub - discourse/discourse-gifs · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-gifs) - this theme component opens a modal when the button is clicked from the toolbar, and then inserts content into the composer based on clicking some content in the modal).

If you’re trying to get a script to load and do something to the post content, I think this post might get you pointed in the right direction… using `loadScript` and `decorateCooked`: [Difficulties in correctly adding external JavaScript - #4 by StevenTammen](https://meta.discourse.org/t/difficulties-in-correctly-adding-external-javascript/118099/4)
