For my plugin, Godot Doctor (https://www.github.com/codevogel/godot_doctor),

I would like to add a feature which displays a warning symbol, similar as to how _get_configuration_warnings() displays a little warning triangle when it returns a string in it's PackedStringArray.
Is it possible to add such a warning icon to the scene tree without rebuilding the entire Scene dock?

there is a way inside the engine, but again, not exposed to scripting

Was afraid of that.

Reason I can't just use _get_configuration_warnings directly is because the script needs to be marked as an @tool for that to get called, which is part of what my plugin solves.

Cool.
Thanks for the help looking into this stuff. Appreciate it! I'll be calling it a night for now.

At best, there could be a method to get the SceneTreeEditor from EditorInterface, but I don't know if that's something that would be liked
