If things like this were possible the scripted RC could get much needed add-ons that would greatly help. And you could tab the rc into multiple tabs if you wanted. Chat and NC would work fine.
The Scripted RC is already using external windows where it is supported by the client (in the beta clients), and has been doing for quite some time now. The external windows are just framebuffers though and look/feel like internal GUI controls. It would be far too complicated to use the OS user interface elements, not least because each OS looks quite different and control behaviour varies.
