I know some users have designed this. You can make use of the workspace reader to create something like it. I believe they used bookmarks and transformer naming standards to make it readable.

I do think it requires the developer to properly document the workspace. Any kind of automated system can probably tell you what is being done, but not why. And the why is at least as important, maybe even more.
