You could run X through the ssh connection:-
ssh -X 192.168.1.200... and then run a GUI browser on the PI which will display 'locally' on the system you have ssh'ed from. It'll be quite slow but across a fast LAN should be acceptable.
For some reason I've never had much luck with this in the past but I just tried it again and it's certainly a viable option. I eve got it working on Windows (sadly my work laptop runs it most of the time) using a combination of PuTTY and VcXsrv.
Yes it is pretty slow, but for what I need to do (and given how rare it needs doing) I think that'll be enough.
If the slowness becomes a nuisance then there are various other ways of doing the same thing that will speed it up - VNC and variants basically.
I use x2go which, across a home LAN, makes things work pretty quickly and transparently.
