Currently, the "Theia model editor" is implemented as a prototype and offers a tree as well as a form editor.
We might consider to implement the tree editor without the form based editor as we already have the property view capability.
This feature is not yet available in the tree editor itself, but on the roadmap: eclipse-emfcloud/theia-tree-editor#22.
In that case, we may consider to enable to implement a selection forwarder of the tree selection to be able to handle tree node selections in the property-view.
