Is there a way to use the Delphi debugger in a different editor?

I'm trying to get rid of the editor which is being shipped with the Delphi IDE as much as possible. Now I'm looking for a way to plug Delphi's debugger into a different editor.

Is there a hidden API, command line interface or similar that enables other applications to set debugger instructions (like setting breakpoints, step by step execution, evaluating variables etc)?

The debugger is built in to Delphi's IDE, there are no APIs to access it externally. However, within the IDE, there are ToolsAPI interfaces to allow IDE add-ons to perform some basic actions, like set/access breakpoints, attach the debugger to new/existing processes, evaluate expressions, etc. But not step through running instructions AFAIK.
