Hi, Hannes.  Perhaps what you're remembering is the little tool you 
get from halo menu of any SketchMorph when you select "choose new 
graphic"?

There is a repository used by morphic for various standard graphics; 
it is an IdentityDictionary using symbols for keys.  You can add 
entries to it, and retrieve entries from it.

To look at this repository interactively, evaluate "ScriptingSystem 
inspectFormDictionary" -- available in the "do..." menu.

Look in category "form dictionary" of class StandardScriptingSystem 
for the methods you can call to put and get graphics from this 
repository programatically.

HTH.
