Thanks.
Is there some easy way to do the same for evaluator panes of inspectors?
I have hacked together some methods using MorphicWrappers to create 
wrappers for the result of an evaluation in evaluation panes, to drop 
MorphicWrappers into the workspace and get a reference to the wrapped 
object instead of the morph and to get a morph representing the 
inspected object from the window menu of inspectors. I would like to be 
able to drop morphs into the inspector as well, but it seems as if 
dropping references into the workspace uses the binding functionality 
of the workspace and that functionality doesn't seem to be there for 
inspectors.
