Fusion and Shake both work to display the node in the viewer window by
clicking on a button on it, or dragging that node to the window, and I
usually find it far superior to blender's viewer node system. So I'd
very much like to have this option.

One thing that is important though - right now, blender processes the
entire node tree, right down to the render result, even if you're just
viewing further up the graph and not even interested in the
down-stream results. This is wasteful and takes away a lot of the use
of viewing nodes mid-graph, and really needs to be fixed too.
