I have implemented a customized editor that operates on items in a database.  The editor contains Table (TableViewer) containing a list of associated items. I wanted to be able to move an associated item in one list to the list of another open editor.  I have created a custom Transfer type and instantiated a DragSource for the Table so that I can drag one of the items from the table.  I can't instatiate a DropTarget on the editor itself.  Although I could create a DropTarget for the list and have the editors opened side by side, I really didn't want the user to go through the hassle of having to drag the editors to get them opened side by side.  I hoped to be able drop the item on the tab for the target editor, and for the DropTargetListener to validate the drop and update the table.

Note that bug #37595 could be a solution as well.  If dragging and hovering over the desired editor were to make that editor active without cancelling the dnd, then I could drop the item on the table for the other editor.
