What is the canonical way to create tabs to a control panel configlet?

Today we use a "Multiple registry schema proxy" class to achieve this, but we think there should be a better way to work with tabs at Plone:

github.com

collective/collective.nitf/blob/1.x/src/collective/nitf/controlpanel.py#L163-L202


class AbstractRecordsProxy(object):
    """Multiple registry schema proxy.


    This class supports schemas that contain derived fields. The
    settings will be stored with respect to the individual field
    interfaces.
    """


    def __init__(self, schema):
        state = self.__dict__
        state["__registry__"] = getUtility(IRegistry)
        state["__proxies__"] = {}
        state["__schema__"] = schema
        alsoProvides(self, schema)


    def __getattr__(self, name):
        try:
            field = self.__schema__[name]
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError(name)

I answered your question there: TL;DR use plone supermodel.
