I was thinking about something like this.
Attach is quite easy to make using i.e. xdotool.
Using script like this (untested):
xdotool selectwindow windowreparent TABBED_ID
Spawned by spacebed.
Detach is reparenting window back to root window. After such operation
reparented window is working quite normally, but inside spacebed remains
nonfunctional space. Probably quite easy to fix.
