You could use JGR to display a list similar to what you described (via
"Object browser"), and to graphically save the workspace to a custom
location. JGR is a cross-platform R GUI that is more advanced than the
default GUI/terminal.

Alternatively, you can save the workspace wherever you want via save.image().
