Ok, so this is like the feature of Kate to auto complete of each word
found in the current file. This already was requested some time ago
(therefore I know Kate can do this, never tried it) and it seems you
additionally want to set a filter.
Geany can't do both things.

The auto completion of all words in the current document should be
possible to realise as a plugin, there just must be one to write the
code. The filter should not be that hard to implement afterwards.

But as I don't like this (I just have no use case for this), I won't
work on this. Sorry.

Enrico
