Is it possible to track the tabs of multiple window IDs in a single TST window here?
To explain my motivation/use case: I have 3 screens, and often 3+ browser windows.
I'd like to have one TST window as an overall manager of tabs on one TST window.
Using this plugin allowed me to do 3 of these windows, which I tiled into 3 parts of one of my screens and found it was excellent.

So I am not familiar at all with FF extensions or web dev in general, but I did some spelunking here to see what is going on and if its obviously possible.
Since getting deeper into TST itself is a maze to me, at the least I could imagine a supremely lazy version:
A series of IFrame panels for each window's TST url.
A more reasonable solution would be to mod TST's tab groups to allow specially labeled 'window tab groups' at the top level probably...

Anyway this is just food for thought and a humble request from someone that was excited at (almost) perfect multi-screeh, multi-window TST management.

This sounds like a cool idea, unfortunately I don't think it will work. Tree Style Tab allows running other extensions as "subpannels" in its sidebar by embedding them in an iframe. From what I can gather by reading SubPanel API · piroor/treestyletab Wiki · GitHub this has a lot of limitations for the addon that is running inside the iframe and so it needs to be specially written to work around those limitations.
