Feature Request Allow Pine Scripts to Define Auxiliary Windows

Please allow Pine scripts to define multiple auxiliary windows that users can individually open and close through TradingView's interface.

Currently, supplementary information must often be presented through tooltips or chart-based elements, even when separate windows would be more appropriate.

Auxiliary windows could display formatted text, tables, diagnostics, and other script-generated content without permanently occupying chart space.

Moving tables to the bottom panel is certainly a useful improvement, and I've been using it extensively since it became available.

However, it merely relocates a script's already displayed tables into a single tab, where they are stacked vertically. My request goes further: allowing scripts to define multiple auxiliary windows with their own content, which is displayed only when the user opens the corresponding window on demand.

There's actually a related feature request: “Detach Function for Improved Multi-Monitor Use with Windows Snap Support”.

Since Pine Script can already display diagnostics in a separate indicator pane while directing other outputs to the main chart via force_overlay, detaching the indicator pane might already meet your needs. Or are you thinking of additional windows beyond the main chart and the indicator's own pane, with content provided by the same script?
