IB: Inserting a parent item in a splitview pane?

Every once in a while I run into the following frustrating situation in IB: I have a UI with an NSSplitView, and one of the panes is a content view like an NSTableView. I later decide that I need to add another view inside that pane, like a button or a label. But I can't find a way to do this. There'd have to be a container view in the hierarchy between the splitview and the tableview, to add the new view as a child of, but there's no command to do this.

The only workaround I've found is to use Unembed Objects to get rid of the splitview, then add the button, embed it and the table in a customview or box, then use Embed Objects again to recreate the splitview. But this is kludgey and tends to mess up the layout. There must be a better way?
