This is what I do some times: click on middle mouse button several times 
to open the halos on the Morph I'm interested in. Then click on the 
"Menu" halo, then "debug..." and "browse morph class". Once I'm on the 
morph class, I look for references to that class (context menu + "class 
refs (N)"). That gives me the list of methods that instantiate that 
class of morphs.

Other times, I look for a "root" method from which I guess the Morphs 
are being built from. Probably an #initialize method, and then follow 
the code and try to find the code that builds some part of the UI.

Other times I look for the senders of a method. Let's say you suspect 
#createClassButton is being used for building a button in the button row 
(context menu + "senders of ..(n)"). I may have to do this several times 
too, look for the senders of the senders, etc.

Not sure if that may help you.


Cheers,
