This is something that in other programs is called "in-place editing".
Usually a field for editing is highlighted with a different background.
In terms of Emacs this could be called "in-place completion". For its
implementation the most suitable feature is the `field' property.
When completion is activated, a field could be created in the buffer
and removed when completion is finished. I suggest using the same
key to finish completion as in the minibuffer, i.e. RET.
