I decided to play around with this a bit, and put some experimental updates
in the http://www.squeaksource.com/EtoysProject repository. This allows a
project file to be dropped into an EtoysProject, and the resulting new project
will be EtoysProject rather than MorphicProject. When transitioning from an
EtoysProject to something else (usually a MorphicProject), the Etoys-specific
preference overrides are restored to normal. When moving from one EtoysProject
to another, the preference overrides should stay in effect.
Dropping a project file into a MorphicProject still creates a new MorphicProject
as before.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, and it is surely going to be full of bugs,
but it does seem to work.

Assuming that the object saved as a Dictionary value may be any object that
responds to #value (i.e. a block), implement keyAtEvaluatedValue: to look
up the key corresponding the the evaluated object.

The #renamed dictionary of a SmartReferenceStream maps a serialized class,
such as Project, to the expected class to be used for materialization, such
as MorphicProject. In some cases it may be desirable to let the mapping choice
be decided at load time. Therefore, let the value stored in #renamed be
either a symbol or a block. If it is a block, evaluated it to determine the
new mapped class. For example, if EtoysProject is a specialized implementation
of MorphicProject, then it may be desirable to map a saved Project to a new
EtoysProject rather than a new MorphicProject.

Restore saved global preferences only if the project being entered is not
an EtoysProject. Thus retain the preference overrides while moving from one
EtoysProject to another.
