I'd place the logic into config.cgi. That would (if supplied with a
hostname or hostname+service_description argument) print a nice table
including links to parents, contacts, check_command, interval,...

Of course, with the current data structures looking up children will be
painful in large installations.

Javascript + maybe Ajax stuff would be prettier of course, but they
would not fit into the current CGIs' layout.
