[oXygen-user] Buffer-related questions (when opened from plugin)

Right, you would need to implement a special protocol handler plugin 
extension.

You are right, we do not have API for accessing the Grid page (it is not 
very used for customizations).
The Grid page does not make much sense for being used by a technical writer.
But, a WSEditor has a method "changePage" and the possibility to add a 
listener to it via "addEditorListener" so if the user switches to the 
Grid page you could automatically switch to some other page (Text or 
Author) and thus avoid having the user modify a read-only content.
Another approach would be to let the user modify the content and then 
throw an error when the user attempts to save.
You also have methods like: "WSEditorBase.setEditorTabText(String)" 
which would allow you to add a "(read-only)" status showing in the 
editor's tab.

Regards,
Radu
