How to split multipages editor in Eclipse

Eclipse allow users to split the Editor Area into more one space, giving ability to display two files at the same time ( or the same file if you duplicate it using Window->New Editor)

Is there anyway to split the editor window itself into multiple areas for editors with multiple pages ?
e.g.
Assume you are opening plugin.xml file, and you want to view "plugin.xml" tab/page next to "Extensions" tab/page.

The hard way is :
_- Open the desired plugin.xml file
_- From top toolbar, select Window->New Editor
_- Split the editor area into two areas _- Select "plugin.xml" tab/page in one editor, and "Extension" tab/page in the other eidtor.

I would like to drag the tab/page to split just like we do for different editor.
If Eclipse does not provide that, Is it doable in custom editor , if Yes then How?

Thanks

No you can't do this with the multipage editors. These editors use the CTabFolder control to show the pages and this control only supports showing one page at a time.

Not sure what you mean by a custom editor. You could write a separate editor for each page so that you could then open these editors separately, which would allow the split. However this would be a huge amount of work.
