Yes. If it returns more, prompting the user with a list of frames to
choose from would be reasonable.
Which immediately runs into the issue of what frame & window to use for
the buffer containing that list.
Since the user has not yet indicated the final frame, one choice is
using the first frame returned by `filtered-frame-list' for the prompt
buffer, as long as that frame is returned to its original state when the
prompt is completed. That could be done by an additional `dont-prompt'
parameter to the display-buffer action.
Another choice is the minibuffer, using completing-read. But that's not
very friendly, since it's hard to see the entire list of available
frames.
