Yes, I have done this and it works, except simply "reparenting" does not
save the tab label (for example, before it might be XYZ and after I
reparent back to notebook the text is the original page number. I have
gotten around this by re-setting the tab label. Also, reparenting does not
save the detachable property, again I have to reset this. Should
re-parenting be doing this for me?

Also: I seem to be able to only reparent once. For example, if I detach,
then re-attach (reparent), then detach again I am unable to re-parent.
