Not that I am aware of. Usually, the behaviour will be controlled by
some variable. For instance, in org, when asking for an agenda view
(org-agenda), the following variable controls what it does in terms of
frames and windows within frames:
,----[ C-h v org-agenda-window-setup RET ]
| org-agenda-window-setup is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is current-window
| Original value was reorganize-frame
|
| Documentation:
| How the agenda buffer should be displayed.
| Possible values for this option are:
|
| current-window Show agenda in the current window, keeping all other windows.
| other-window Use `switch-to-buffer-other-window' to display agenda.
| only-window Show agenda, deleting all other windows.
| reorganize-frame Show only two windows on the current frame, the current
| window and the agenda.
| other-frame Use `switch-to-buffer-other-frame' to display agenda.
| Also, when exiting the agenda, kill that frame.
| See also the variable `org-agenda-restore-windows-after-quit'.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|

`----
Usually, these variables are described in the info manuals.
