Advanced chat format

I've been working on coding a UI, and I wanted to do something more unique with the chat boxes. There was a couple of ideas that I came up with; but to be honest, I have no idea how to go about them.
  • Is there any way to split the chat into two separate columns so that the names of the senders can be right aligned to some "center divider" and the rest of the chat can be left aligned to the divider? If so, is there a way to maintain both columns while scrolling back through history?
  • Can I toggle making the chatbox interactable/static through other functions? (Such as holding a hotkey or pressing a button)

If these are possible, can someone refer me to a place where I can learn more or perhaps a project that has already accomplished this? My primary goal from the project is to learn more about Lua and XML interfaces in WoW.
