When clicking on the magnifying glass, the user can hover over various parts of a page and see them outlined on the page and selected in the Elements panel when clicked.

In my Illuminations project, the user can use the same tool in Firebug and have it highlight the "objects" as they are represented in the page. Thus it does not select every DOM node -- only those corresponding to the objects in the view or widget hierarchy. The highligher can also change color based on the type of "object" (like a view vs an element). The highligher should also allow for multiple objects to be highlighted at once, and ideally with some having different colors than others. See http://www.illuminations-for-developers.com/about/ for a 1min example screencast.
