By design a minibuffer is a special buffer and a minibuffer window is a
special window. The concepts of a standalone minibuffer window are
mostly unchanged from that of a minibuffer window attached to a normal
frame.

You either have to redesign the concept of minibuffer windows or work
around the design. Both tasks seem non-trivial to me. "Right now" is
just another way to express that.
