debugging complex objects

I am writing a parser generator tool in squeak
and will write some code to allow some of the
complex objects in the tool to be explored by
bringing up a interactive gui on it.
(I claim I really need this; my parsing algorithm
is far more complex than LR(k) parsing so the
objects are complex)

What I want to do is add a selection in the debugger menu
so that instead of inspecting an object or exploring
it I can run the gui on it.
Of course I can alway type "instanceVariable runGuiForObject"
inside the debugger but adding this capability would be simpler.

Thanks
