I doubt it, but you can ask at the VS General forum.

Something to consider, what might work in VS2019 may not work in the next release of Visual Studio. For a simple example, to access Visual Studio extensions changed in VS2019 from prior versions of Visual Studio.

And there is how important is it to add another window? How much time are you willing to invest in this knowing you may later need to change it in future releases of Visual Studio.

The first option I would take is to suggest what you are looking for as a new feature request for Visual Studio.

The following might help but if not then you should ask in the relevant forum.

Be sure to have the Visual Studio extension development toolset installed.

You can create a custom tool window following this guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/creating-an-extension-with-a-tool-window?view=vs-2019

And then you can declare it to show not in View > Other Windows, but in Debug->Windows menu.
