I'd think the easiest would be to show by menu name, which is easy enough to capture.

You could possibly re-use the same dummy window. When a new addon panel is created (or final event) you can just keep note of the window's child objects and move those over on panel initialization. The positioning code could get rather tricky to map, especially if you mostly kept it as an adapter.

I did start work on a the delayed call and got it working pretty well in a Lua console test. Interesting bit of metatable usage.
