You need to have the ability to add custom javascript html <script> tags referencing external js files to the page you'd like to Embed Umlaut content in. You also need to be able to somehow make an OpenURL Context Object representing the thing you'd like to load Umlaut content for, and pass this to the Javascript. If an OpenURL link is already on your HTML somewhere, Javascript can easily pull the 'context object' out of this (see example).
You need to be willing to load the JQuery library on your page, although it can be loaded in "no conflict" mode if you also need Prototype or another JS library. jQuery 1.4 is highly recommended, although jQuery 1.3 will likely work too if you already depend on that in your application.
 
Although it's a bit tricky, it should be possible to load JQuery and the Umlaut JS helpers on the page dynamically with JS -- making it possible to add Umlaut JS enhancements without touching your HTML at all, but for adding an html script tag referencing an external JS file. If you are interested, jrochkind can give you some tips if needed.
