Ability to detach / reattach yakuake tabs

Brainstorm
1

As many, I use yakuake as my daily go-to console.
Most of the times a couple of commands per tab per day.
Some times though i need to follow up a command with more and still be able to have the scroll history for the span of the task.

Would it be possible to have yakuake tabs be detachable?
Doing so would make a tab show up in the task in the task manager as a separate window, do any work that would e.g. require expanding the window fullscreen or moving to a specific desktop and when done reattach the tab back to yakuake (or close it).
That would make Konsole redundant in many cases.

Hi! For what it’s worth, there is an existing feature request for Yakuake in the KDE Bugtracking System on this topic: 392814 – Feature request: detach a terminal (session) to a regular window
