How do I edit black-box custom components ?

We have a number of custom components in our Pipeline Pilot setup. Some of them are represented as icons that cannot be further opened and so we don't have access to their underlying implementation. At least I can't figure out how to get to it from within the Pipeline Pilot Professional Client.

An example is a component that names molecules, and is represented by a calculator icon - and that's really it. It doesn't work at present, since it is trying to contact a service that has been moved. But how do we inspect and edit the implementation ?

If I copy the component's xml.gz file, unpack it, I can have a look at the XML itself. I see that the node contains an "HTTP Connector" component that contacts an http service that generates names for input molfiles. So I can fix the non-working component by editing the XML. But, there has to be a better way to edit / maintain components ?

I am trying to do this on a new PP 2026 server.
