Is it possible for a plugin to overwrite the views generated by another plugin?

Hi all,
I'm in the midst of setting up my first Redmine project, and I've started to look into this whole theming/templating side of things. I was somewhat dissapointed at first that theming an Redmine installation just meant changing a CSS-file, but then I found out that I can alter the HTML output from the application with an own plugin and some clever overwrites. So far, so good.
Problem is; we've come to like a few plugins (most notably: Redmine Backlogs) and we would like to be able to to some extent change the way it presents data to the client. Not how the plugin works, but rather how it presents itself to the user (for example; the backlog tab in the project menu takes you to a plugin-specific page that looks nothing like Redmine; it throws the user out of context and somewhat lacks polish IMOHO - I'm sorry if I just offended someone; not my intention). So the question is, as the post subject says; Is it possible to somehow via a plugin alter the view template files that another plugin is using?
Thanks in advance.
