Spy-js tool window
The tool window is available only when the Spy-js plugin is enabled. The Spy-js plugin is not bundled with DataSpell, but it can be installed on the Settings | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains repository.

By clicking an event, you can open the trace file, which is a prettified source file with the script that the event launched.
