You'll probably want to check out Dandelion, which generates HTML docs
from Squeak code, and also outputs other formats. The cross
referencing is limited, though. It's on SqueakMap, and also has a home
page at:

Ah, it sounds like you're looking for a type inferencer too, something
which tries to guess the class of a variable or parameter. Look at
Chuck on SqueakMap, which is pretty heavy-duty.
My Whisker Browser (also on SqueakMap) has a simplistic "type
collector" rather than inferencer built in, which guesses types just
for instance variables, based on existing instances in the image.

Mm, yes, that's a bit old... the major items from the STP12 Goodies
package (TimeProfileBrowser and PackageBrowser) were incorporated into
the Squeak base several years ago.
