Imagine you have a watch named 'e' whose value is an object of type PropertyChangeEvent at a moment. The PropertyChangeEvent has a field named 'newValue' of type Object. At the moment, value of the field 'newValue' is an object of type Point: e.newValue = <some Point> Furthermore, you want to permanently watch value of field 'x' of this Point. Currently it is possible to create a "fixed watch" from 'e.newValue', expand the node that represent this "fixed watch" and watch value of its field 'x'. Enhancement: Allow to declare a "partially fixed watch" by entering a special expression as the value of property 'Name of variable' of a watch, e.g. by entering expression #(e.newValue).x you would watch a (non-fixed) value of field 'x' of a fixed instance (referred to by the current value of 'e.newValue').
