Sadly I don't think what you're asking for is possible, seeing as Content Tabs are specifically ment for Groups & Properties, and not for custom backoffice sections, without completely hacking the Back-office!
(It would be the first time I'd see anyone manage to get a content app over there, but if anyone finds out that it is possible, please correct me! đŸ˜„)
Before Content Apps were a thing, we used to jam read only content into Doctype tabs by creating 'read only' custom property editors...
So depending how your content app is created, you could probably convert it to a custom property editor and add it as a property to your doc type, on its own tab and with the property label hidden..
A content app as content tab
Hi community,
I'm working on a project where we got a request to display our content app in the same place as content tabs.
Currently i have a content app in the default position between content and info.
I'm wondering if there is a way to display the content app as a tab in the content section.
like the following example:
I know you van create custom tabs, but i was wondering if there is a way to make it work like a content app. Without the save and publish option.
Anybody got any idea if this is possible?

Hi Marc,
Thanks a lot for your approach. I think that is the way I am going to try it.
One question. Why would you need the property label to be hidden? Is that a preference, or a headsup for something?
Kind regards, Daan
Hi DVB
Just so the 'content app/property editor' fills the full width
if you have a tab that already says 'My Thing'
you might not need a label saying
'My Thing'
too....
