The title pretty much is my question.
Is it possible to dock another application into Houdini's UI?
Examples would be for reference image viewers, or even to dock VSCode when using a single monitor.
Don't think it's possible, but would be a really cool addition I think.

Hi, it's definitely possible. You can do this e.g. as Python Panel.
You can dock other application inside widget as container
The tricky part is to get the window's handle. E.g. in this example, I found the handle by knowing its PID.
There is a simple proof of concept with the Python 3 version of Houdini 18.5 on Windows 10 (check the attached video):

container = QtGui.QWindow.fromWinId(handle) QWidget.createWindowContainer(container)
