Debug Console: Link output to states / code / history that generated it

[franzlst]

It would be a convenient feature if you could (double-)click on a log message in the debug console to

• open the state that triggered it
• go to the line of code that sent the message
• open the respective part of the execution history

I guess this won't happen in the near future (although I think it would be could).

Nevertheless, I tried to find out, how this could be implemented:

When calling debug, info, etc, one can specify an additional keyword argument extra. Here, a dict can be passed, which in our case could be something like {'state': weakref.ref(state)}. This way, a weak reference to the state would be stored in the LogRecord, where it could be accessed by the LoggingViewer.
