PL/I editor - hover function

If a developer uses the PL/I editor to change a program, it is possible to hover over an %INCLUDE statement to see the content of that include member. Hitting F2 lets this window keep the focus and it is possible to look around in that include member with the cursor keys. But if that include is rather big (say more than 500 lines) it might get hard to get to the right part of the code in the include. The developers would like to search in the include window via the usual Find function (Ctrl-F). Openeing the Include in a seperate editor is not possible because that include is read from an external read only file server.
