Is it possible to create plugins that affect anything other than rendering? For example, to change editing or saving behaviours.

Answer

This is possible in a limited way, the API will be extended over time to allow more interaction. The latest TWikiBetaRelease has a beforeSaveHandler plugin hook that allows you to take some actions before a topic is saved. Editing is pending.

As a workaround you can try to hook into commonTagsHandler and determine what script it was called from.
