You can do this:

GNU Emacs package: rcd-org-agenda-dashboard.el -- RCD Org Agenda Dashboard:
https://gnu.support/gnu-emacs/packages/GNU-Emacs-package-rcd-org-agenda-dashboard-el-RCD-Org-Agenda-Dashboard-76669.html

Follow same principles for Org Agenda, liberate it into derived mode
where people use it just as any other Emacs buffer.
