Issue: Crop and Lock Improvement => Two (or more) instances of the same window

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Split a window's search field and the area in which is displays the information that was searched for. This could apply to many different types of applications,, web apps, tools, etc. Screen real estate can be limited, and sometimes you need to have part of one screen/window/app in one location and another section of that screen/window/app in another location or another monitor.
I'll demonstrate an example to show how useful this could be; here goes nothing!

It would be better if both were the "reparent" version so that the search field could be modified and the map could be panned at the same time. Maybe _one_ could be set _as the parent_ so that both close upon closing the parent.
Even if one of the windows would have to be the reparent and the other just a thumbnail, there are many applications that would still benefit from that. 

I love this useful tool and I am hoping that you guys will incorporate this suggestion into your tool. Of course, adding even more functionality would be wonderful; the ability to convert an application window into a format that works best for you would be a "power" move.

Having a tool that could expound upon this and have unlimited numbers of window splices would be really incredible, however that is likely outside the scope of this specific power-toy.

### Scenario when this would be used?

I'll take one of my co-workers as an example. Bob is at work and they have two monitors but often its not enough. They use one of them to visualize various data or information and the other one they use to input information or execute decisions. Bob uses Monitor A for input and Monitor B for info. However, there is not much space on Monitor B with all of his other programs, and it doesn't help that he has to go to monitor B to change the information he wants to see. He uses google maps often and, of course, the input and output of that application are both in the same window.

If he could put the search box on monitor A and the map on monitor B that would be **ideal** for him.

### Supporting information

The possibilities are endless if we can unlock this functionality for all windows and apps. You could integrate your excel data and the application containing the information represented in excel. 

For instance, if you commonly use a pivot table and never use anything else in that excel window besides for the edit field for the pivot table, and you also have an application that orders your inventory for that day (for which you use pivot tables to predict future inventory needs) it would be useful to show only the pivot table and the edit field alongside your application. 

Having both the pivot table and edit field as "reparents" (in the sense of how the word is used for {ctrl}{shift}{win}{r} on the power-toy) would produce significant screen real estate by removing all of the other parts of that instance of the excel app.
