How to show different Syntax in editor than serialized? [message #1815315]

How can I show the user in the editor of my DSL a different concrete syntax than in the corresponding .mydsl file? E.g. like Intellij's language assist feature that renders regular expressions more human readable than the 'real' regex String.

Hi, this is hardly possible but you might have a look
At the feature called codemining

In general I like code mining, but it doesn't realy fit here because it clutters the code even more. However, probably quick outline + code mining or hovering + code mining is the best solution for me.
