Is it possible to copy all animation frames into separate objects in the viewport?

I am already using the Path Deformation and the Array tools, but they cannot (as far I know) animate materials. Also, their output cannot be edited with the curve editor??

Example: I have a 30 frame animation of a rotating box moving along a path. Instead I would like 30 boxes in the viewport. Each one, a copy of its respective keyframe.

Sort of like the classic video technique of creating trails from moving objects. I know it can be done in After Effects, but I want to actual 3d models from my own custom animation frames, in the scene and not the results from Path Deformation and Array. Then I can work on them as a still image.
