[Locked] Access tabs from subpanel.

Hello, guys! Your dock is awesome!
Here is my idea:
I found sub-panels very usefull, and it looks good when my dock groups a lot of windows of the same application into single icon which has subpanel.
But a lot of applications (for example, web-browsers) provide tabs, and we have only one window but many tabs. I think, it's quite good idea to make sub-panels for such tabs, if it is possible to get (and switch ) tabs by application API.
For example, the "terminal" applet may be modified to provide this feature, or a webbrowser-applet can be created.

Thanks!

Hi,
not a bad idea, although there are several difficulties:
- applications usually don't tell us which tabs there have (or even if they use tabs), so we would have maybe some apps with this feature, and most of them without.
- we couldn't use the Expose to display all the tabs, like we do for the windows.

so first we must know if and how apps tell the other programs the tabs they have.
