We could define new topics inside the publisher view in order to not need to publish a message on that topic on the ROS side first.
The idea could be that you will have an item in the dropdown menu saying something like "". On Selecting this, two input fields for the topic name and type will be added. A button next to it will get the message structure of the defined message type (if found, error otherwise) and create the respective tree view.
Note: This is currently out of scope of our development.
