I had a hunch this might work, but it didn't allow me to open a specific (floating) window for individual variables.

A list-based interface is fine if you have just a single variable that you're watching, but the current tree-based implementation quickly shows its limits even if you're just interested in a nested struct architecture.

That's probably because an actual debugger watchpoint is used, which is linked to a specific address instead of to a variable name.
