You can have a ProjectViewMorph whose project is actually a DiskProxy:

projectName _ 'HitAnyMorph'.
projDir _ ServerDirectory projectServers first.
fileName _ projectName, '.001.pr'.
gifFile _ projDir readOnlyFileNamed: projectName, '.gif'.
gif _ GIFReadWriter formFromStream: gifFile.
p _ ProjectViewMorph new
			image: (gif asFormOfDepth: Display depth);
			lastProjectThumbnail: gif;
			setProperty: #SafeProjectName toValue: projectName;
			project: (DiskProxy 
				global: #Project 
				selector: #namedUrl: 
				args: { projDir fullNameFor: fileName }
			).
p openInHand.
