Allow User created Snippets to use exising plugins

Existing Snippets that are available as part of RPP are stored in plugins, which, allow the user to manage the positioning of the code.

When the developer creates Snippets, the code positioning is not handled the same way as when the developer uses an RPP Snippet.

By allowing the Snippets created by the developer to use the same plugin as RPP, these Snippets can be inserted correctly into the code, regardless where the cursor is positioned on the line.
