Is it possible, for example on a full node display page, to have access to other custom build modes as separate pages through a tabbed interface, etc. For example, I have a content type called PROJECTS which I used to create a job board. In my PROJECTS content type, I have several fields including production notes, due date, client contacts, billing info, etc. I want to create separate build modes to be accessed by separate employees. For example, I want a build mode called job notes that only displays the production details, and another build mode called billing info which displays the client contact infos and payment status. I know I can create these build modes currently in DS, but the next step that I am not sure is if I can access the separate build modes as separate pages, and not just use the as blocks, or views results. Better yet, when I am on one of the page displays, can I have the other variations of the nodes page displays display as tabs (where we usually see "view" "edit" etc.). I suppose there would also need to be some URL functions where perhaps it is linked as nodePath/BuildMode. Can this be done with DS as is? Maybe with context or something?

Thanks,
J.J.

Note. I do realize now that I can access the tabs module through the fieldset file format setting. I also saw this post http://drupal.org/node/772802. The only problem, however, is that I want to duplicate some of the information on the different page view, and if I got the tabs/fieldset route, I can only use a field/fieldset on one of the tabs, vs. being able to reuse the info on the other tabs.

There are 2 small modules in the Node Displays Contributions project. One works with Context module, the other one is able to switch build modes. The context is probably the one that is most interesting. If you can create links (and theme them as tabs) and pass on some parameter, you can pick them up with the context module and switch the build mode.
