I'm working on developing a custom json file type for Trados Studio. I need to perform different actions on segments depending on whether the segments are locked in the translation editor. So far, I cannot see a method or API hook to check if a segment is locked in either the file parser or file writer.

Our file type plugin, and the fileWriter within are implemented according to: How to Create a Plug-in for Processing Native Formats from the SDL documentation.

Note that we are using the AbstractBilingualFileTypeComponent, IBilingualWriter, INativeOutputSettingsAware for our file writer.

I need to be able to obtain the information about the locked/unlocked state of a segment that is being written into the file.

Is there a way to do this inside the fileWrinter, or is there something else I need to do?
