For the Workout Editor:

An openable window that can show an independent viewport into the same canvas you are currently editing.

Unknowns:

Sharing data? each uix.Canvas is given the *Level and if they both mutate it at the same time?

It may at least safely support a 'read-only' view into the map in case of data sharing problems (edit mode off). It can still be valuable to reference a different part of the map while you're working.

Initial version added in: 1f83300cec

Yes it is editable.
Strokes drawn in the viewport appear in the main editor and vice versa.
Multiple viewports all see live changes to the pixels drawn on the level.

Some quirks to improve:

Actor and Link tools don't work. They rely on callback hooks currently only initialized for the main canvas. If that code is made reusable these tools could work.
Share a pointer to the editor scene's selected tool? So viewports don't need their own independent control.
Viewport should open scrolled near the main editors viewport instead of 0,0.
