I don't think thats a good idea since Favorites has a distinct role compared to Projects and (Project-) Files. While doing maintenance tasks it can be also useful to drag them out and render both side by side. The quickest way to integrate into some of the existing functionality without fighting it would be to create a "generic project" type which is simply a folder which shows everything.
