Yeah... yeah. That'd be neat.

For objects that are explicitly instanced, an
extra object member var could store which file and line
created it. Then double-clicking the displayed object would
scroll the .pov file to that point in the editor.

I also like that idea of raytracing single objects.
Click an object, hit a key, and it tells the raytracer
to render the region bounding the object's screen projection.
Or better still, raytraces just the object itself.
