Current behavior (how does the issue manifest): Currently whenever I need to find an activity while I'm working in the Flogo Web UI I need to open a separate tab.

Expected behavior: Have the ability to browse/search the showcase from within the Flogo Web UI

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? It makes it easier to find new activities. Potentially also giving people the option to install directly from there as they're browsing through the showcase

We have the showcase contributions listed in one place already: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TIBCOSoftware/flogo/master/showcases/data/items.toml

I wonder if the UI can use that to display the contributions. To install directly the UI will need the ref specified somehow.

Only concern is regarding versioning where a contribution can be potentially incompatible with the Flogo Web version you're running.
