Is it possible to create an LE addon to enable "Local Shell"?
This to minimize need/use of external computer.
My programming skills aren't even close to be able to decide if this is possible...
Local shell?

Adding tty to the boot parameters should give you a shell via CTRL-ALT-F3 on a generic build. It used to work in previous gen builds.
I don't know if it works for the other hw builds as well.

I couldn't find anything of value while Googling for "raspberry boot param tty"...

The boot parameters he is talking about are the kernel command line, which you can set in /flash/cmdline.txt on the RPi. That said, I'm pretty sure there are no VT's available on the RPi even with the tty option.

Ohh, well. Not so much more to do then...
Thanks anyway guys! -
In case anyone finds this thread later, I'll just state that it's technically possible. I've looked into it in the past without much success. There might be a missing kernel option, or maybe some adjustment to systemd is needed. The debugging shell works fine on the RPi, so in theory it should be possible for systemd to spawn a separate VT if configured correctly.
