With JTAG debugging, you might debug whatever you like...
I am not aware about winIDEA, but for source debugging with their debugger,
either they should support GNUtools ARM ELF format (different from ARM's one),
or they can drive GDB directly. (Or upside down, GDB driving their JTAG
engine, but this is very unlikely with comercial products !).

If winIDEA is able to get full symbolic information from GCC generated elfs,
and is scriptable, might be you could write your extends for thread inspection...
(If I remember well, this is the used path with lauterbach)
