In Tk or its extensions, is there any widget, which can act like a top-level window for another application yet be child of a Frame widget in my own application?

Example to clarify my question:

I have an application, which inspects files.

I would like to have its GUI include also a Frame, whose contents are to be controlled by a browser.

When I select a file for inspection, I want to be able to press a button, which will cause the file to be opened inside a browser and be displayed in the aforementioned Frame.

Currently, I know only about sending remote commands to browsers like Mozilla. They then open their own top-level windows and display the selected file's contents in whatever format I want. The problem is that they display their stuff in another window, instead of inside the Frame provided by me.

Google search yielded the following non-so-helpful references:
* http://wiki.tcl.tk/2870 - Combining GUI applications developed with Tk and 'native' Windows toolkits
* http://wiki.tcl.tk/3315 - TkSteal (seems to be what I want, but apparently is not currently maintained). See also: http://ftp2.de.freebsd.org/pub/x11/tcl/ftp.funet.fi/harbor/extensions/TkSteal3.6a.README
* http://wiki.tcl.tk/199 - BLT
* http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4335968&forum_id=2352 - is about integrating any Tk package with Tkinter (Python).
