How to reuse the Properties View? [message #653951]

I'd like to reuse the Properties View in an application and have it show something whenever the current selection is a Foo object.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'd have to make Foo IAdaptable, so it can return a IPropertySource. Is there another way?
