I was actually looking at sending out some code samples to Bob in Maine when I started looking at how the current code works.
There is not actually a specific UI holder there but a class (GeoMOOSE.UI.ZoomTo) that is instantiated and added to the UI after startup (main.js line 86). It does not have any particular logic to avoid loading that class.
My suggestion would actually be to modify the GeoMOOSE.UI.ZoomTo class to have a "url" attribute. or to add a CONFIGURATION['zoomto_url'] setting that would allow the zoom-tos to pull their data from a URL after the mapbook has loaded. I think that would meet everyone's needs and fold the functionality into the main-line code.
Brian, does that make sense and get you what you ultimately need?
