Automagically include GObject UID in error messages when running in the editor

Status: New

We know that LabVIEW has some magic that it uses for automatic error handling.  What if LabVIEW could use such sorcery to enrich the error string flowing on the wire, with information about the originating source of the error -- specifically the VI Reference and GObject UID of the node where the error was introduced.  Then a "fancy error dialog of the future" (TM) could utilize those UIDs to navigate directly to the node and highlight it (a visual effect to show which node it is). This behavior could be added to the Simple Error Handler and General Error Handler VIs, and maybe ever there could be a "LabVIEW Gems" vi.lib utility that can extract the VI Reference and GObject UID for use in other, 3rd party tools.
