In my ListManager, a lot of the time, TabPanelItems in the "center", detail region will have their own ListManagers (almost every Entity will be searchable, and choosable from a list). These ListManagers will have a detail region which... Well, I'd better stop before I overflow my own stack, but you get the idea!
So obviously you'll get a "nesting" effect where each one has less and less available space.
I can see a possibility of being able to "undock" a tab from its place in the region, and having it's ContentPanel jump into a BasicDialog. The Tab would disappear from that region.
Perhaps a "maximize" button in the tab next to the close (if it's there) button. Or double clicking on the tab.
The BasicDialog could be resized by the user (Could we have a "maximize" button on BasicDialogs please?!) so that they can see it the way they want.
Then the BasicDialog would have a "minimize" button which would cause it to reinsert it's content into the region from whence it came.
Possible?
