It would be very useful if we could display the simulator

I'm interested in know why this would be valuable.

On Linux and Windows you can mostly do this with windowed plugins and reparented widgets, although you running the risk of introducing new plugin hangs. We should work to make sure that on Windows especially the event loops of the relevant processes are desynchronized.

On Mac, this is basically impossible, since we don't have a windowed plugin mode. You'd have to basically forward all of the rendering and events to your other process. Which is a lot of work, though not impossible.
