Context

Currently fragment developers can create fragments with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and also embed specific widgets inside a fragment. However, in some cases more flexibility is desired since it's not possible to predict which widgets will be desired or even allowing dropping other fragments inside a given fragment.

The goal of this story is to provide that additional flexibility by allowing developers to add one or more drop zones inside a given fragment. When such a fragment is added to a page, the page editor will display the drop zone allowing the page creators to drop fragments and widgets inside, including layout elements such as a row of columns.

Thanks to drop zones it will be possible to create advanced fragments such as a tabbed component which may have different content in each tab, a carousel with similar flexibility, a fragment that opens a pop-up, etc.

This feature fits into the overarching theme of empowering developers to empower non-technical/business users.
