Hi Joe,
It is an interesting need, indeed you can use your own mechanism for
navigation if you want only a single opened editor at a time by using
IReusableEditor.setInput(). Currently Sirius doesn't support that
through odesign specification, but this could be considered as a feature
request. You can raise a enhancement in our bugzilla. And If you are
interested in the code which manage that, it is in
org.eclipse.sirius.ui.tools.internal.editor.MenuHelper.
Best Regards.

I realize this can be accomplished using the create or navigate operations, however, I need the selected representation to replace the original within the same editor. This way the user is able to move between different views of the base model and its container elements without having to manage separate editors.

Is there a way that I can accomplish this representation switching either by extending the existing editor functionality or by some other means provided in Sirius that I have overlooked?
