There is. Two ways:

a) Type "look white-black" in the terminal, this will open a board with the
game. Note that you can greatly fool gGo when using an alias, but that is
the case for all outgoing commands which are parsed and trigger a local
action.

I just tried: "look dumdum-shuzo" -> I got the game in a window.

b) Open the playerinfo dialog, in the second tab you find a list of stored
games. Right-click on the game entry you want to see and select Look from
the popup menu. This simply sends "load white-black" to the server and is
basically the same as if you had typed it manually.


Please note there is currently a problem with the new server and stored
games. Games played on the old server are still listed in "stored", but do
not exist if trying to be loaded with "load" or "look". But this problem
should be gone once these games have expired. Just mentioning this as some
people told me gGo is suddenly broken as it writes it cannot find the game
(server cannot find it in fact).
