Sure.  If you have a method called getEngine() which returns an  
Engine, you'll get an inspector for the Car which has a slot called
"Engine". Next to it you'll see a magnifying glass icon. Click on it
and choose "View" and an Inspector for the Engine will pop up in a
separate window. This works not just for objects but for collections
of objects (Bags, arrays, ArrayLists, etc.) too.

What MASON doesn't have right now is a single browser-style inspector
which wanders from object to object. Perhaps an item for later.
