some ideas

Your description sounds like there's really no need for your external application to talk back to Notes.
Assuming your users would start in the Notes UI (in email, in contacts,...) you could design a view action button that triggers the export operation. The logic behind that button would be written in LotusScript.
The 'only" problem: Lotus Notes doesn't know about the IMA file format so you have to find a way to generate that format. Do you have a library that allows you to generate that format?
Lotus Notes also comes with a set of export filters. For example you can export the content of a Notes document as a RTF document. Or you could export the data as an HTML or XML document. Does your external application accept different input formats beside IMA?
Lotus Notes also has a mechanism called the Extension Manager that allows you to write your own "add-ins".. However this isn't trivial and you should expect to do some heavy C++ programming when following that route.
