You mean something like this?:


(defun org-tree-to-indirect-buffer ()
   "Create indirect buffer and narrow it to current subtree."
   (interactive)
   (let (beg end (bufname "*Org Indirect*"))
     (save-excursion
       (org-back-to-heading t) (setq beg (point))
       (org-end-of-subtree t) (setq end (point)))
     (if (get-buffer bufname) (kill-buffer bufname))
     (pop-to-buffer (make-indirect-buffer
		    (current-buffer) bufname 'clone))
     (narrow-to-region beg end)
     (show-all)))
