Fl_Tree does support child widgets, but I'd only recommend going
the Fl_Tree route if 'indented' and 'collapsible' are needed.
Otherwise, if you really just need a 'browser' in the form
of a vertical stack, I'd think an Fl_Scroll containing an
Fl_Pack of Fl_Group's (one group per 'line' in the browser)
would be what you'd want. (Note the example I posted skips
the Fl_Pack and does the 'stacking' itself)
Whether you go that route or with Fl_Tree, in either case
you'd want your widgets to be in an Fl_Group that is probably
a custom class of your own derived from Fl_Group.
This way you can create one instance of this custom group
for every 'line' in the browser.
