#KDE has long had a technology called #KParts. Basically you can set up something (including a full app) as a #KPart component and use it elsewhere as part of another (tools bars and menus will merge).

My understanding is that #Kate & #KWrite are a good example. Both now use the same editor component, but Kate adds a LOT of extra functionality to it. The #KDEPIM suite uses the same trick with it's components - they can run separately or as one combined app (#Kontact).

I'm not fully across the technology, so if any experts wish to correct me, feel free. 🤠

If you ask me, the top approach was #KDE's with #Konqueror and #KPart: reusable components like text editor, shell, document viewer and web browser that could be re-mixed in different apps including an all-in-one like Konqueror
