I dont know if this info may help anyone, but wanted to note that we are 
loading the WHOLE TS-tree already in the editor for codecompletion 
support. well, actually we dont load line numbers and comments since we 
dont need them in the CC but it would be quite simple to generate a tree 
and display it e.g. beneath the editor. since the whole ts is loaded in 
a single ajax request there wouldnt be a need for loading onclick...
Could be that the Object Browser is another issue since the t3editor is 
an extension which is not installed by default, but i think we should 
think about the whole typoscript editing process in general not just 
about single modules...
