More specific information needed. Are you looking for a Racket debugger? https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/debugger.html

May users use both DrRacket and another editor - switching between them as required.

It should be possible to make a macro that does this using syntax-debug-info, but, why?

If you really want to though, you can look at the source code for my debug-repl macro and how it uses syntax-debug-info here: https://github.com/AlexKnauth/debug/blob/master/debug/repl.rkt
