If you mean the CellEditActionHandler in PropertySheetPage, that isn't
possible.  The field is private and has no setters or getters.  We could
copy it like PropertySheetEntry, but then PropertySheetViewer isn't public,
so we'd have to copy it too.

After talking with other WSAD developers, I found out that your suggestion
is being implemented quite frequently.  Many Editors are setting up private
connections to their PropertySheet page (and other selection-sensitive
views) and ignoring the SelectionService's notifications.
