I don't think there's any easy way to do this right now.

I've been asked about this type of feature before and I thought it would
be a nice feature.

Currently, I don't think you could do it for the current DE, but if
there was some kind of open source "extensible development platform"
instead, maybe it would be possible to add.

For command line users, I think you could write a callable IDL program
that functions the same as command line IDL, but has this feature.

Either way, it would be a good feature request for ITT VIS.
