I solved it by using the hook load-post-new.php
add_action ('load-post-new.php', 'setContent');
function setContent(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$('#content').html('<?php echo urldecode($_GET['content']); ?>');
});
</script>
<?php
}
Sending the admin to new-post.php?content=foo prefills the content textarea with the value foo.
All for now,
