[Interest] QDockWidget alternative

Hello,

I'm searching an alternative to the QDockWidget, because it has some
limitations. Maybe somebody knows an open source implementation of
something I'm searching for.
The alternative should be similar to the dock in Matlab. There is the
possibility to hide the dock by pressing a button when it is not floating.
Then only a tabed widget is visible. When hovering this label, the
dockwidget is visible, but it overlaps the Mainwindow and is not next to
the MainWindow. When leaving the dock it is minimized by it self. This is
usefull to save space if you have a small monitor.

Here is a small demonstration how it looks like in Matlab:

Is there something available as open source?

Best regards,

Martin
