I like the idea of a separate place for commands to simulators via symbols on 
the schematic
that are probes -- a pictorial symbol of a lab instrument.  The separate place 
should be
non-volatile and outside the schematic, so it's a file.   If you are using DBUS 
or any IPC
to do cross probing and back annotating that method should also update the file 
with every
change, and take in every change to the file.  In other words any IPC dealing 
with back annotation
should poll the probes file and keep it in sync with the memory resident 
version of it.

And so far, that probes file seems to be best made in resource file format.

As far as including scheme code to execute and worry about "danger" of doing 
that --
go right ahead.  Just live with the danger, and create some other HID based
user interface for irresponsible users to play with safely.  I think we should 
leave
creation of "limited" versions of anything to future hired work done by gEDA 
consultants.
