There is probably not a built in way - but its open source so definitely
possible to "hijack" it in any way you please.  You just need to do some
digging. Here is how...

1. Bring up halos on a useful button of Configuration Browser. Keep
clicking to cycle through LabelMorph, AlignmentMorph until you get to
PLuggableButtonMorph.

2. Click the spanner "Debug" icon and select "Inspect Morph".

3. Find somewhere to break the message sent when the button is clicked,
which will vary with widget. In this case, you might change the
/actionSelection/ from #action to #breakMe.

Note to devs: It seems setting a value is a little broken in cleanly
displaying the new value as it is typed.  Only a blank field is shown, but
the value still gets set with <enter>.

4. Now click the button (btw, make sure a package is selected).    A
debugger will open with "MNU #breakMe" at a #perform: message.

5. In the debugger, set /actionSelection/ back to #action, then <Restart>
and step down to and then into the the #perform: message.  Continue
stepping to dig in behind the app.

In this case you get to something interesting stepping into "actionHolder
value value" , and further on where #selectedItem is sent searching on
senders of #configurationList gives you a class of interest to look into.
Look on the class-side of this to discover methods returning default values
and put halts in these to see where they are called from when Configuration
Browser initialises, and work out how to add your own.

6. Work out how to make it easier for others to add their our _local_
projects and contribute back for inclusion into Pharo.

cheers -ben
