Description

### Description

I see that there is a TabPage but that would fill a complete screen. I'm looking for a tabbable interface that covers only a part of the screen and leaves a top (or bottom) space for general things.

### Public API Changes

```xml

Heading


...

```

### Intended Use-Case

For use in a GUI to provide alternate views (interpretations) of the same data.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing TabPage implementation and the public XML API shown in the issue. Compare the requested partial-screen tabbed interface with the existing control behavior across MAUI targets. Done means a TabControl can host TabPage views within a Grid while leaving space for other content, with the documented API working across supported platforms.
