Frequently I like to open a source file in a separate view, rather than docked windows (panes), so that I can see files side-by-side. Now I have open the source file and then "clone view". It would be nice if, when I right click on a source file in the explorer, there was an "open in new view" menu option.
Not an easy task. Might be simulated by action that reacts to EditorCookie, get the opened panes, finds a TopComponents for them and if one of them implements TopComponent.Cloneable calls the method. Solves your problem but is not too nice.
