Adding the opening location is possible but I am not convinced that 
it is so truly useful. The plugins open at their last saved 
positions, so you can just position them as desired and save. More 
useful would be IMO specifying the opening mode, so the stacks can be 
kept as toplevel but open as a palette or modeless as plugins. But 
may be adding a button to the plugin manager that saves the current 
location of a selected plugin could be handy, particularly in the 
case of plugins opened as palette or modeless.

IMHO opening substacks of plugins should normally be controlled by 
the plugin's mainstack. If you want to open only substack but not the 
mainstack, you can designate the plugin as active and do opening from 
the pluginStack handler.
