Hi Koen - is this just for development/debug purposes? You can obtain a 
reference to the private inspector object for a web view, and then interact 
with it in various ways. For example, given a reference to WebView* someWebView:

        [[someWebView performSelector:@selector(inspector)] 
performSelector:@selector(show:) withObject:nil];

Should pop up its inspector assuming developer extras are enabled. Obviously 
you wouldn’t want to rely upon that fragile relationship for a shipping 
feature, though.

I wrote more about a use case for this where I automatically open the inspector 
when JavaScript errors occur. Search on "Step 3" for more details:
