This is a great suggestion! I have one comment and one question.

The comment: if you have capture-templates set up, you can bypass them
by calling `(org-capture nil "t")' if you want that template.

The question: is there a way to:
- present only the capture buffer in the new frame (right now it's split
with the scratch buffer)?
- delete the window at the end of capture?

According to some old discussion
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-11/msg00482.html)
it is not possible, but things may have changed since then.
