Change content of Model Browser in Forge Viewer

Question

Is there an easy way to change the content of Model Browser in the Forge Viewer? I would like to rename som nodes, add and remove node.

Unfortunately Model Browser sources its data from the object tree ( model.getInstanceTree() ) which is immutable and can only be extended by re-creating your own data structure.

Here's a couple of good starting points:
