Hi,
This is not directly related to bug#48916 but nonetheless derive
from a same logic of window management.
Actually the user can choose if windmove will create a window when
it encounter the edges of the frame. I propose to let the user
eventually provides instead a function that will be triggered in
that case.
The function will receive as arguments the `dir' and `window'
bindings of `windmove-do-window-select' so it can adapt its
behavior accordingly.
The simplest use case I found for this feature is to creates a
dispatch function that choose from the direction to display eg, a
dired side window on the left, a shell side window on the top, a
message side window on the bottom, another thing on the right ;
and that act as a toggle, eg :
windmove-left : creates a dired side window
windmove-left again : delete the dired side window
From here the function can be tuned again to behave differently in
different contexts with eg, a local binding or by inspecting the
WINDOW argument.

The second attachment is a library I am currently working on that
implement a functional dired side window and its windmove bindings
in 200 loc, so you can eventually try it and feel what I am
requesting.
I wrote it for testing purposes for bug#48493 so some of its
functionalities relies on fixes that are not yet available, and it
is less about dired in a side window than implementing local
bindings on couples of buffer/windows.
