I don't see why that would be necessary: switch-to-buffer-other-window
calls display-buffer (well, pop-to-buffer) so it should honor
display-buffer-alist.

Other than switch-to-buffer they all go through display-buffer and obey
the display-buffer-* hooks.
switch-to-buffer is special because there are various circumstances
where it's more important for it to only affect the selected-window then
it is to display the specified buffer.

Don't return nil?
More specifically, your joaot/browse-buffer-in-special-frame should
return the window it used to display the buffer.
