Actually it is possible even with current version.

All view that is linked to executable is automatically
registered (using global constructor) to the central
singleton class that holds all views and unregistered
when unloaded.

So it is just enough to link the view to the plugin's 
shared object or load it as shared object of the view
and you get it.

Currently the code behind all this stuff is quite ugly
and is going to be rewritten - code cleanup
(it is the 1st or the 2nd task in the list)
but the behavior would remain the same.

And then it will be properly documented.


The only restriction is that each view should
have a separate name to prevent collide with each
other.
