The answer wasn't forthcoming probably because it's both yes and no.

As Transcript-driven parts, almost any stacks can be made to work with 
any others.  The question is whether it's worth the trouble, or perhaps 
more cost-effective and user-oriented to craft something specific for 
the task at hand.

The challenge of incorporating Rev's palettes is that they're tied to 
Rev's development libraries, and the scope of interactions among them is 
quite broad.

If you have an app in which you need drawing and painting tools, it's 
probably better in terms of both the usability of the design and the 
cost to implement it to just roll your own.

See these tokens in the Dictionary:

  choose command
  newTool message
  tool global property
  style window property
