Selection provider that is not a workbench part [message #482687]

I am developing an RCP application in which I have sort of state manager that is not a workbench part, but needs to notify the workbench of certain selection change events.

The views have a well known method to register themselves as selection providers (getSite().setSelectionProvider(this)), but I havn't found a way for my state manager to register itself as a selection provider with the workbench.

For now I've created a hidden dummy view that registers my state manager as the selection provider, but this seems like a kludge. What is the right way to go about this?
