Displaying a dialog popup outside the browser window
in Using jQuery UI

Is there any way to force a dialog popup to be visible when moved outside the browser window? Or is this a fundamental limitation of the way dialogs work?
I'd like to create a persistent dialog that can be moved off to the side so that it doesn't block the main browser window. I can create draggable dialogs that have containment set to false/none so that they can be dragged beyond the visible edge of the browser window. However, any part of the dialog that is beyond this edge is also hidden. Is there any way to force the entire dialog to be visible?
My alternative is to use a child window, but the content to be displayed is an interactive part of a GUI that shares much scripting/styling with the main page, so it will be difficult to separate.
