Call the C++ API continuously every x minutes

[BenjiDev]

I'm looking for some way to use the C++ API (like opening a dialog or creating a wall element) on a timer basis.

Something along the lines of when the addon is loaded register a callback (lambda/function pointer)  that runs some functionality every minute.

Otherwise I'm thinking of spawning a thread in RegisterInterface that wakes up every minute and does what i want. But I don't think the C++ API likes being used from a separate thread...

I stumbled across the GS::MessageLoopExectuor class, looks like it can be useful to run heavy tasks without freezing up the UI. It also has some "Wait" methods that looks like something i can use.
