Sounds like you want a wrapper plugin to start up the executable
version of syncedit and return control to LDDP right away. I did
something like this years ago with the ldlist wrapper plugin.
http://ldglite.cvs.sourceforge.net/ldglite/ldglite/plugins/pluginldlist.c?revision=1.1&view=markup
Then you could theoretically work in both the LDDP and syncedit
windows with the ldview window displaying any updates, as long as you
can make syncedit and LDDP poll the file for changes like ldview.
This could be even better if LDDP and the syncedit executable both
supported the ldlist style drag and drop, but I don't know if that
ever got implemented in LDDP.
