Minimap as a chat window tab!

Can the minimap be added as a "Map" tab to the current chat window ?

The chat windows are copies of the mainhud_mainchat window so it is not possible to tell which window to attach the map tab to, unless I am mistaken.

I think it could be "attached" to one manually inside the game with some clicks and scripts, but at design time I think you would end up with it attached to any chat windows you open.

I think it is a cool idea, I will play with it.

I use the minimap as my main map window up all the time and the main map as full screen when I need it. But it could be cool to have it available at a glance on the chat window.

I tend to use the minimap only when questing and although I can hide it by opening up the mainmap I felt it would be better "Tabbed" on to the chat window (which would actually give me a larger minimap due to the chat window size).
If you can implement this idea, great, otherwise it's no big deal, more of a personal refinement to my UI.
