Is there any way to parameterize a view programmatically? I would like
an action from one summary view to launch a new view with detail
information.

My detail view supports multiple instances and I'm using
IWorkbenchPage#showView(String, String, int) to open it. Any way to
tell it what to show?

I know IExecutableExtension can be used declaratively, but I need to do
it at runtime.

Thanks,
Will

Views don't have the concept of input, which is why there's nothing to
specify in the showView(*) call. The pattern that is commonly used in
eclipse is to make your secondaryId a key, that your view can use to
retrieve information from a common location at runtime.
