Sorry if I missed something but what happened to the pairing feature others mentioned previously?

I don't see an option to configure it in the settings and I believe I'm on the latest version.

I love this plugin and it would be perfect for me if I could pair it within the android youtube app

Pairing won't come for this addon. Has to be a separate service. But you can use Yatse or Kore.

Is it theoretically possible with a separate kodi service or does it need to be an external program?

If a service could listen on a port and Google/Server URL. In my tests all commands go to server before reaching the paired the device. The protocol isn't easy and only for hardware distributors (like TV). So someone would have to reverse engenier the protocol. Something I haven't the time for
