Bindings: inspector w/bindings?

Hey all.

Okay, I'm straining my brain trying to figure if this is possible or not. My intuition tells me it should be, but my intuition frequently lies to me. :)

I've seen examples of how to synchronize data between an object and an "inspector" panel using the basic delegate/notification design pattern. I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing with bindings.

For example, say I have a main window with an NSTableView. This view is bound through an NSArrayController to a mutable array in a controller class. Objects are added and removed freely through the interface. All is well.

Then say I wanted to muck things up by adding a separate "inspector" panel to display the specifics of whatever object happens to be selected in the NSTableView. Click on an item in the table view, the inspector magically knows which object in the array it is and can display it's info.

So, is it possible?

I was thinking about the 'how'. Perhaps if the controller has a reference to both the NSArrayController in the main window and a to a NSObjectController (maybe?) in the inspector panel, it could connect the two together so that the inspector could query the tableview's current selection?

So am I nuts or what? I figured I'd better ask the list before trying it on and destroying my code. :)
