Currently, as a workaround you can use approaches shown in the following Support Center entries:
OBSOLETE - How to create a singleton class (for instance, to create a specific record, that cannot be deleted for administrative purposes)
OBSOLETE - How to show the detail view from the navigation control for a non-persistent object

Proposed Solution:
Add a new detail view item type that references another view so that a view can be composed of sub views. This would not be of much help for reporting but would provide a model-driven abiltity to create and maintain dashboards. In this case, an Outlook Today domain view might be composed something like:
<DetailView ID="OutlookToday_DetailView">
<Items>
<EmbeddedView view="Appointments_ListView" Caption="calendar" …>
<EmbeddedView view="Tasks_ListView" …>
<EmbeddedView view="Messages_ListView" …>
…
</Items>
<Layout…>
</DetailView>
We would need the ability to specify controllers for such compound views so that they could have logic associated with them and I guess that may not fit well with the current architecture that assumes a current object.

Hi Guys,
Please check out the ID E921 (OBSOLETE - How to show several Views side-by-side in the application window) example I created for a solution in the current version of the suite.
Thanks,

In v2010 vol2, XAF will provide the ability to create Dashboard Views that display several Views side-by-side in a single Frame (on a single screen). For additional information, refer to the XAF – New Dashboard Functionality (coming in V2010 Vol 2) blog post.
