I don’t have any solution yet but I want to do the same. My idea is to move smoothly in the work space. However, if you just what to close and open, make your docked window closeable and add a button to manage this actions with a script. I haven’t test it by myself but it should work.

This will not work since is applicable to components, not windows or root containers, but thanks
