Description

If we consider the usual Variable view when debugging Java code, its content changes according to the selected element in the stack (Debug view)
Most notably, it has a **this** variable.

In our case, we could also have an equivalent concept and have a **self** variable. Its content would be the target of the selected element in the stack.

Note1: in the case of the concurrent engine. As a LogicalStep is composed of several calls, the **self** variable would be an array.

Note2: mixing RTD and fixed data in the same view can be handled by improving the UI. for example fixed data could use an *italic* font and RTD could use an icon overlay
