I'm afraid I don't know of any way how to do it right now (please
correct me when I'm wrong) and I'm not sure whether this feature is
useful to be part of Geany's main distribution. 
But I can imagine of two ways how to implement this: 
1.) Creating a small [shell|python|perl|ruby|awk|sed|...]script and use
it with custom command feature
http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#send-text-through-definable-commands
2.) Building a plugin for doing this which would cause a lot of
overhead but makes it maybe more comfortable for other users. 

Thanks, 
Frank
