Eh... as Bert said - the green halo icon does a very deep copy. Which
means it copied the object you were inspecting too. So, no - if you
change the original object the new inspectors will not update. I am just
repeating what Bert said here... :-)

Since the green duplicate icon does a generic operation (I think) this
is simply the result. Not sure if we want to have polymorphic behavior
here - it may just confuse.
