I would like to define a restricted area, inside of which the Editors may be moved.

Not easily – in general, there is ‘one’ EditorArea for an Eclipse application.
You could use a custom presentation layer to put that EditorArea over one of your views, but that would be it.
A potential (high-level) solution would likely involve passing an
EditorPartinstance to a custom view, which will then callcreatePartControlto render the editor contents inside the view, and manage any necessary initialization of the editor.Since this editor would be a child control of the view, you might also need to do special hookups for selection/editorsite/actionbars/shortcut keys, etc, so that they continue to work when that editor is being run from within the view.
