There are several options, depending on the user experience you want to
provide. Instead of using the outline view you could use a multi-page
(multi-tab) editor, one tab for each part. Another idea would be to have
a single tab editor but follow the master/details UI design (like the
Extensions tab of the plugin editor).
Finally, if you really want to keep using the Outline view, you could
use a StackLayout in your editor to show only one composite at a time
(each composite representing a part of your file).
Hope this helps,
Eric
