Detecting if a sideshelf view is detached

Found this great tip on how to detect if a view was detached from the parent windows that is if a sidebar plugin was opened standalone. I’m thinking that this could be very useful and used in a variery of ways to allow further functionality in a sidebar plugin if opened standalone. What could this be? Well a sidebar plugin could provide a richer UI and/or more resource intensive operations when the user opens the view standalone as this probably means this is an important application to the user.
