I think a direct dock/undock toggle button would make sense.

Some of them are dock widgets. This cannot be directly transferred to the
internal viewer. An additional frame could be used, but e.g. there is no
simple solution to change the placement (left/bottom), like you can do with
the dock widgets. Also it costs additional space, which is rare if you have
structure + source + pdf. So it might not be used too often. I'm not decided
if the internal viewer necessarily needs all features of the external one
(wouldn't harm of course, if it has). Anyway, e.g. Search should be ported.
