Reference glyphs in Glyph Editor

[benben]

When designing a stroke-based font using RoboFont's outline extension, I'm finding it helpful to have a reference glyph in the background while drawing each new glyph. I'm wondering if there's a way to load only the relevant glyphs from an existing font as my reference glyphs. Does anyone know if this is possible? Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
