Can multiple parent states share single child state?

[xmlking]

Looking for suggestions to implement following use case: support for multiple patent states sharing single child state.

I have a nested view with search UI, list results & search results table and item details view shared with search and list states.

.state('drugs', {
    abstract: true,
    url: '/drugs',
    access: {allowAnonymous: false, roles: [USER_ROLES.DATA_ADMIN,USER_ROLES.IT_ADMIN]},
    // Note: abstract still needs a ui-view for its children to populate.
    // You can simply add it inline here.
    template: '<ui-view/>'
})
.state('drugs.list', {
    url: '/list',
    templateUrl: 'views/dashboard/drugs.html',
    controller: 'DrugController',
    resolve: {
        drugs: ['DrugService','$stateParams', function (DrugService,$stateParams) {
            return DrugService.listDrugs();
        }]
    }
})
.state('drugs.search', {
    url: '/search',
    templateUrl: 'views/dashboard/drugs.html',
    controller: 'DrugController',
    resolve: {
        drugs: ['DrugService','$stateParams', function (DrugService,$stateParams) {
            return DrugService.searchDrugs();
        }]
    }
})
//FIXME : wish UI-Router supports multiple inheritance  for child state to avoid duplicate code
.state('drugs.list.detail', {
    url: '/:drugId',
    access: {allowAnonymous: false, roles: USER_ROLES.SUPER_ADMIN},
    templateUrl: 'views/dashboard/drugs.detail.html',
    controller: 'DrugDetailController',
    resolve: {
        drug:['DrugService', '$stateParams', function(DrugService, $stateParams){
            return DrugService.getDrug($stateParams.drugId);
        }]
    }
})
.state('drugs.search.detail', {
    url: '/:drugId',
    access: {allowAnonymous: false, roles: USER_ROLES.SUPER_ADMIN},
    templateUrl: 'views/dashboard/drugs.detail.html',
    controller: 'DrugDetailController',
    resolve: {
        drug:['DrugService', '$stateParams', function(DrugService, $stateParams){
            return DrugService.getDrug($stateParams.drugId);
        }]
    }
})

@xmlking This has come up many times. The short answer is that ui-router doesn't provide for this yet, but there may be an alternative solution to this problem in the less immediate future. Please search open issues before making new ones.

this is should work if you define the Controller within the template itself with ng-controller="DrugDetailController"
