Hi, I'm not sure if this is relevant but I thought I'd mention it. There is a Pin&Clone feature proposed for Platform Debug. The bug is old, but there is a big push for it now and it may make it into Kepler. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=145635
Maybe the mechanism can be re-used for other views. Just a thought.
