[Development] Feature request: several layouts in a single ui file

[Saether Jan-Arve]

What you are suggesting should be possible, but I would like to explore if there can be a more generic way.
You are suggesting to push this even further, i.e. one layout might use a QComboBox instead of a groupbox with radio buttons.
* If its pushed far enough, wouldn't this be like having two separate .ui files that could be switched?
