Hey there,
I would like my plugin to run every time the user opens up a new c4d scene (Both File->Open and double-clicking a file from the OS). Is there a specific hook for this, or do I have to listen in a background thread?
Searched the forum and the SDK pretty heavily and couldn't find anything, hopefully I'm not wasting anyone's time.Thanks!

Depends upon what you want to do. There is a message MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED as well as MSG_DOCUMENTINFO sent to the document and all children. The plugin cannot react before Cinema 4D loads and registers plugins (i.e.: no preload conditions can be coded).
The problem is that you want to run your plugin on this condition (so it won't have received any messages). You probably want a SceneHook plugin in addition for this purpose. A Message plugin may also be possible but it only receives CoreMessages (not messages like those received by other plugins through the overriden Message() method).

AS Robert said the best way would be to use a SceneHook and check for MSG_DOCUMENTINFO.
here a little example:
