If the RecordViewer is a controller of some kind, could you not add it to a
view controller, and let the view controller (an ObjC++ subclass of
NSViewController) call the RecordViewer to make these changes?

It sounds like you actually made quite a bit of progress if you’ve already
rewritten the View (V) layers, and the Model (M) layer is separate.
