Has anyone duplicated the function/appearance of the Dock in code? Created a multi-button like view, where the view has several icons displayed across, and when the cursor is over an icon, that image is expanded (like under a magnify glass)?

In the Dock, each of those is a separate window, so its "expansion" is a matter of completly reshuffling the winodws around, and changing their sizes (probably with some help from the window server's scaling routines).

So it's not a single view - you'll probably best off making a bunch of different views/cells. I'd start with a sublcass of NSMatrix (since that can already hold multiple numbers of similar cells), and override the drawing and tracking routines.

I'm not at all affiliated with this software. I happened to come across it a few days ago. It seems to do what you're interested in, so you may wish to contact its author.
