Is it possible to 'embed' one cocoa application within another?

Hi All,

I am working on a application and as part of that i would like to have a
view that actually 'contains' another entirely different application.

In windows world there are examples of this (for instance you can embed a
excel spreadsheet within a word document and then edit the excel spreadsheet
within word and you get all of excel's menus & stuff)



My needs are really simple... say I want to embed 'ical' in my application
(this is just an example... I really don't want ot embed ical but it makes
the point) I'd like to have my main application with a tab view and one of
the tabs would show the embedded ical, if a user was clicking on ical
controls the menu bar would how the ical menu but when it clikced on my
controls it would show my menu...

In case you are wondering I only have access to the binary of the external
app and I can't really modify it but I would like to have the user interact
with a single app to get his job done.. I know how to do this in x-windows
and I know it's possible (to an extent) in windows... Does such a thing
exist in the Mac?

-John
