How to display a portlet that's not in a user's psml

[Jeremy Ford <ca...@hotmail.com>]

I've been thinking that I would like to create some utility portlets that 
can be accessed by any user/role/group psml but not necessarily have that 
portlet defined as an entry in the psml.  Does anyone know of any way of 
doing this currently?  Here's one scenario as an example:

A user would like to change their language settings in Jetspeed.  To do this 
currently, you need to add the ChangeLanguage portlet to a psml and then use 
it.  What I would like to do is have this portlet accessible from any 
user/role/group psml without it specifically defined in the psml.

If there's not already a method of doing this, perhaps a new action could be 
added.  I would think that this might be similar to how the Customizer works 
currently.  Perhaps this action could be generic so that it loads portlets 
into a page, including the customizer, for use by any user,etc...

Is this unreasonable?  Is is possible?  Any thoughts welcome.
