Agenda views rely on two things: a list of selected items, a display
mechanism for these items in a dedicated buffer (either one single
buffer, or several buffers when using sticky agenda views.)

What you're asking for would be possible if the list of items were
stored somewhere else than in a dedicated buffer -- which is not the
case right now (see also my recent reply to Manuel.)

You can try to digg the idea of `org-agenda-listing' further.

Good luck!
