They're called "views".  I didn't find any good documentation, no, so I'm 
hoping the test-view directory in nautilus-media will do exactly that ;) 
I'm still scrubbing the code to be the absolute least amount of code that 
properly implements all things you can do in a separate view.

Still some work to be done though, like properly figure out refcounting, 
but it's a good start.  I'll be trying to draw out help from 
nautilus/bonobo/gnome luminaries when I can't figure out things myself ;)

So, basically, you're free to help out and try this out and see where we 
can take it.
