I haven't tried the code yet, but based on the commit message, this is a 
great contribution. Perhaps it would be worth to create a complete tool 
showing the actual results.
I think this code belongs to Morphic/MorphicExtras rather than Graphics. 
Graphics doesn't depend on Morphic, and it shouldn't, but these changes 
would introduce that dependency.

They generate a combined morph for all rules applied on these forms (scaled, because icons are small) and opens it in your hand.
