[Mono-osx] Passing AppKit.NSControl across AppDomain or Process boundaries

I currently have an application architecture designed around WPF, where the
client UI is highly composable, and the composed UI elements are hosted
within child AppDomains for security and resiliance.
I would like to consider expanding the product to the OSX platform - and
after having a quick look at Mono AppKit - I see that controls derive from
NSControl, which ultimately derives from Object, completely bypassing MBRO
(MarshalByRefObject).

Is there any facility within MonoMac for instantiating an NSControl in one
AppDomain/Process, but attaching the UI as a child of another
AppDomain/Process?

My goal is to have an application, where a control on the main window
actually resides within a seperate AppDomain (and if possible, a seperate
Process).

Thanks
