Unfortunately not. It is nailed with deep connected C code. And i haven’t found a way to move it to another location yet. Same counts for the Transform panel in the right sidebar and quite a few other menus. Hardcoded in C, unmoveable ….
I too would have loved to have it as a tab in the Properties editor. What is left is to pull it down when it’s in the way. And pull it up again when you need it.
I wait for Blender 2.8 here. They may or may not change this part. And then let’s have a second look at it.
