The easiest way to do this is to support imenu.  Imenu has it's own
documentation in Emacs.  You can read on how to accomplish this.

Once you have done this, you can add this to your .emacs or imenu
support file:

(speedbar-add-supported-extension ".foo")

to tell speedbar to try and expand tags in this file.

Good Luck
