How about using several frames? For instance I have the following code
bound globally in my OS:
#+begin_src sh
/usr/local/bin/emacsclient -n -e '(make-orgcapture-frame)'
#+end_src
The function is defined as follows (with some supporting code to delete
the frame when I'm done):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun make-orgcapture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(make-frame '((name . "remember") (width . 80) (height . 16)
(top . 400) (left . 300)
(font . "-*-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
))
(select-frame-by-name "remember")
(delete-other-windows)
(flet ((switch-to-buffer-other-window (buf) (switch-to-buffer buf)))
(org-capture nil "t")))
;; delete the frame in that case
(add-hook 'org-capture-after-finalize-hook
(lambda ()
(when (equal
(cdr (assoc 'name (frame-parameters (selected-frame))))
"remember")
(delete-frame))))
#+end_src
