Listen for the selection change on the graphical viewer and when you detect
you need to add/remove drawers, simply add or remove the model elements.
You could listen to the workbench's selection service if you're sharing the
palette model between all your editors or something. That could get tricky,
however.

Another option is to have those drawers already be part of the palette
model, but have them hidden. Simply make them visible when the selection
changes. This has its drawback in that you would be overriding the user's
settings (if they hid those drawers manually, or something) and it could get
confusing. So you'd want to avoid this option unless you provided
additional information/customization.
