   I am building an app that is very hungry for screen real estate, and so I would
   like to be able to have on the screen simultaneously the application frame,
   where the user would do most interactions, and a separate window that the user
   could refer to. [ . . . ]

   However, writing to this popped-up
   window stream from within a clim:with-output-as-presentation fails to produce
   output that is sensitive to the mouse, although it is of the same presentation
   type that makes objects within the application-frame's panes sensitive.

   Is it possible to write sensitive output to such a stream?

You need to make your pop-up window share its input buffer with your
application's panes.

(setf (stream-input-buffer new-window) (stream-input-buffer existing-pane))

Or use the :input-buffer initarg in the open-window-stream call.
