Signature scanning is indeed the hot shit.
It's like the most addicting part of reverse engineering to me. Building signature lists, and then writing bindings to scripting languages to call those function pointers.
It's also the foundation of how many third-party mod platforms work, because you need to build a meaningful API to modders that isn't exposed by the first-party.

Sure is - I believe a few Source engine plugins do this when required (though mostly I think they use offsets into vtable pointers).
No idea what signature scanning is, but found this resource for those curious:
