2) is possible with some "workaround":

* Let the folder tab send a keystroke when it is selected by the user
   (gui.key.folderTab.x.selection = "Fxx" in fglprofile)

* Create on-key and before-input handler for the configured F-keys in
   your INPUT and INPUT ARRAY statements

So, if a user is in tab 1, which hold a simple input and switches to
tab 2, which holds the detail-array, do the following:

* remember current field
* quit current input
* start 'input array'
* call fgl_dialog_setcurrline() with saved values in before input

if the user switches back to tab1:

* remember current screen/arrayline
* quit current input
* start 'input'

etc.
