I imagine we could implement this either by supporting some sort of format specifier (ex: Program.MyProperty,allthreads) or, for the watch/variables window, maybe we can add a context menu item.

Has this ever been implemented?

Currently in the Watch it just states "The function evaluation requires all threads to run."

In the Watch window there is a need to be able to evaluate functions that requires all threads to run. In Visual Studio we had the option to click the little "thread" button in the Watch window that would execute these functions.
