The UI plugins are all event driven [1]. So when a VM is selected an event is 
fired that contains the VM id. Then you can use the REST api to update the 
custom properties of the VM using the VM id.

In short the UI plugin infrastructure gives you the ability to modify some of 
the UI (add buttons/tabs/etc) and lets you know which entities are selected 
(VM,hosts,etc). But it doesn't allow you to update those entities, you will 
have to use the REST api to do that.
