Inside a debugging session with `Debugger.jl`, is it possible to display plots (I’m currently using Plots.jl, but willing to use any package) from the julia prompt? I can save the plots to disk, but it would be nice to just pop them out into a window!

Thanks @StevenWhitaker. It does work for me now as well. I upgraded Plots.jl to the latest version which might have fixed things for me.
