Current implementation of multiview doesn't support multiple editors inside one multiview component well. It provides only a 'good guess' when finding appropriate editor, which works OK only for cases there is only one editor between the multiple elements. See e.g. the impl of MultiViewCloneableTopComponent#findPaneElement() method. It either takes the active or first pane it finds between elements. It is not acceptable for the cases when we are relying on openAt behaviour. There should be a way to give the control to pick the correct element to the client.

reassigning, accepted. Having multiple documents in one multiview was not among the original usecases.
