Hi,
I believe you are looking for activities in combination with your own
source provider.
This might help:

Best regards, Lars

Activities apparently only work on the whole workbench-scope; is there something that can show/hide UI elements depending on which view? For example, show them in one view, but hide them in another instance of the view (same view id).
<edit>Is there a way to do it with "contexts"? (org.eclipse.ui.context) </edit>
Thanks so much for that helpful information. This was a huge step. The SourceProvider came in useful for something too.
