This would be complicated to do. I can think of a way, but's kind of ugly. First of
all, you can get access to JMeter's gui via org.apache.jmeter.gui.GuiPackage - a
singleton class. From there you could find controllers under the workbench. The
problem is, how to get them into the test tree? You could make yourself a new
action that gets triggered when a test run is started, and at that time, you could
replace the controller in the test tree with the controller in the workbench.
Making a new action (in org.apache.jmeter.gui.action) is not tough, but you would
have to modify the Start.java action to trigger it before it processes the test tree.
So, it's not so simple. However, I can now see the value of what you are talking
about. It's essentially a way to reuse test cases without duplication.
