An infinitely better way would be to port the Rossal visualisation system.  I’ve talked with Alexandre and he says Rossal is designed with portability in mind (it currently runs on Pharo and BisyalWorks and predates Pharo’s current imaging model).  This would give you a graphical representation of the entire tree, with the ability to attach behaviour to elements of the representation.
