ROS subscriber or action listener node on UR for geometry msg twist

The interesting part is to generate motion commands from this TF data. From your generated pose you would have to derive a valid joint command (as we are currently only supporting commands in joint space) and send this to the robot.

However, as we use ROS-Control in the driver you can use other ROS-Controllers with the driver, as well. For instance, there is the cartesian_controllers package maintained by a colleague which does exactly that. You would have to add this package to your workspace, recompile and setup the respective controllers as explained in the package’s documentation.
