The editor could use a feature based around this

That's because you hard-coded it
I'll do it scripting (if I ever do it...)

I'd implement some kind of script from which you can-
- Ask for bytes, nybbles or ushorts of the sprite data
- Or even better: treat the text boxes shown to the user as variables
- Draw stuff: circles, lines, rectangles, images, scaled images
- Do simple IF's, WHILE's, etc...

QT has a thing called QTScript. Have you looked at it? It's javascript i think...
