Easy way to define new methods referenced in a method?

[Tim M-4]

Is there an easy way to define methods when you reference them in a new method?

e.g.
 
renderContentOn: html

  html heading: 'ToDo-List'.
  html div
  class: 'menu';
  with: self menuComponent.


When I save it warns me that menuComponent isn't defined but there is no
option to define a stub method for it? So I simply select that its correct.
Then in the new method there is no refactor operation to implement that method
(in Dolphin I can select the AutoCorrect menu and there is a define method
option - is there some addin for Squeak that does this? Or does everyone
rely on having a test that calls the method and so you let the debugger define
it?)

I suspect there are smarter options ... but lint will catch many such
errors. The latest dev images has the 'Environment' browser, which lets you
browse just your 1 class, or your 1 class hierarchy, or your 1 package, ...
and scope your lint checks accordingly. Right click in it and Open/Code
Critics. Lukas Renggli's blog has a nice screen-cast demo.

I would be grateful enough if I could tell the browser to ignore this
error because I know what I am doing.
