You can jump to the address and then declare the data as a struct.

It is annoying though that you can't make the register display show a particular type, it only shows unsigned hex integers. If I'm tracking a 32-bit float it is very frustrating, it won't even show you alternate representations on hover...

For as good and expensive as IDA is, the UX sure is lacking.

Man, I can not believe it never occurred to me to do that. It's certainly what I would do when using IDA outside of debugging, but I guess it's just hard to internalize that you can do all of the same things to live memory in the debugger.
