I.e. like `ediff-buffers'? But the problem is that the uniqueness of buffer names is not guaranteed in this case. What do you think about such workflow: select a target window using normal keybindings or mouse clicks. Then mark the selected window as the target window using a new prefix of `compare-windows'. Then switch back to the original window using standard keybindings, and run `compare-windows'. It could use the remembered target window.
