A lot of entities (inserters, belts, assembling machines) have sub guis for "Logistic Network" and "Circuit Network". Those most likely map onto a ControlBehavior for the respective entities.

A major hindrance for fully custom guis is (at least for me) that I would have to rebuild/emulate those guis if I want to replace e.g. an inserter GUI completely.

I assume that those are implemented in native code; however is there a way to "attach" those sub-guis to a custom (mod) gui? How would I do that if that is possible?

Thanks for any pointers or "you can't do that" authoritative answers.

You can't do that. It is not possible to interact with built in guis apart from adding an element relative to them. And the ___ network sub guis are considered as part of the parent gui, and you can't make an element relative to only one of them, but rather relative to both windows as a whole
