I have built a metrics dashboard that uses RadDocking to allow customisations of dashboard panels. This all works well, however what i would like to provide is the ability to either double-click on a control/panel (most of them are RadChart controls) or right-click and select a Zoom option, which when done will open a popup window and display the selected control as a individual control. This is to allow the user to zoom in, look at the chart in a larger form.

However I can't easily do this as passing the underlying control to a class which then puts this control into a Grid does not work as the child control is already the child or another parent so Silverlight wont let me do this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

In effect what I want to do is what many people do with Image Libraries --- small thumb nails which when clicked on brings up a light box of the image larger. However in my case it is not an image but a full control (RadChart).
