API to update Requests as presented in UI in Proxy, Repeater, etc.

Hi, I have written some custom extensions using both the java API and jython. Typically, it is for things like setting custom headers. While they work (they do send the custom headers) it's hard to see exactly what was sent since the UI doesn't update after the message is set. The work around I'm using to get passed this is to chain 2 instances of burp together, with the custom extension running in the first instance. The second, obviously, shows the full edited message in proxy history, etc. It would be great if there was an API call to push the updated message into the history in the UI.
