Synchronize editors between workspaces using tags (slots) concept

This is my attempt to synchronize editors between workspaces.

The main problem of synchronizing editors is: if there is more than one editor of the same type is presented, how we know which one corresponds to another in different workspace?

To make this possible, the desired areas are marked by user with “Slots” that determine which area in one workspace corresponds to the area in another workspace. This design works well for 3D-view, 2D-editors, but not for Outliner unfortunately.

Demo, how it works:

I think this feature is very lacking, requests for it were on a blender.today and I saw similar concept in Machine3 tools add-on using special pie menu

And here is the patch: developer.blender.org/D6400

That do you think about it? Can it be improved?

It's really necessary. With this feature, working with workspace would be much easier and more intuitive.

It would probably be a great feature. One thing I have recently learned is that image editor and the compositor has some form of sync already which is pretty good, haven't noticed it until I proposed something similar to this.
