How does Code Medic do it? I can think of two ways.
One way is to stop the inferior, insert the breakpoints, and then
continue. The GUI could do all of this without the user noticing.
The other way would be to wait until the program next stops and only
then insert the breakpoints.
The first approach is probably better. My guess is that in the
current Insight framework it would probably be hard to implement
invisibly.

That is fine.
