You have lots of tools for making things larger, but I'd say the tougher 
decision is what happens in the UI so that it doesn't cover up too many 
other items.

If you have a portion of your panel that will become a magnified view of 
your object, or a floating window that will magnify, that gives the user 
the ability to see and click on them when they become more important 
than the one currently magnified.

Anyway, your options are either to grow the object using the property 
node.  Not that there is a base size property that is read only, then 
most objects have a more specific property for growing them.  Some are 
based on pixels, some on rows, etc.  The other option is to have small 
and large controls and show the large when clicked upon.  You really 
only need one large control of each type (slider or meter or readout) 
and you can customize its other properties like color and name just 
before showing to fit it to the thing clicked upon.
