oOk, of all your proposition I think the "callable" one is the best as it allows
to enclause others. IMO what has to be reworked is the way we declare such
"additional" section.

primary_view_section has been mentioned, but I'm not sure it makes sense in that
case. My proposition would be something like:

  pvdc.insert_[before|after]( location, callback, label=None)

where `location` would be e.g. ('Subject', 'relation', 'subject'|'object') and
`callback` a callable accepting the view as argument and returning the html
snipped to be inserted. An optional `label` could be given.

Notice in that case the 'section' is depending on the section of `location`
relation, and I don't think we need anything else.

Regarding your concern about the target of the relation being ignored, it should
be treated as a separate issue, and I've no proper change proposition about this
right now.
