Currently sniff requires you to manually drill down to find your accessible nodes.

It would be great to be able to automate this somehow.  Various approaches to
this, all of which would be nice; I'm filing these as separate bugs:

Visual picker tool.  Implement a "Choose a UI node" menu/toolbar item which when
clicked changes the mousepointer to a crosshairs.  You would then click on
something on the desktop.  Sniff would then update its selection to be the
deepest possible node for that UI element (and expands the treeview where
necessary and scrolls to put the selection in view if it isn't)
