Isn't there a more elegant way of doing this, without asking about a
feature explicitly?  Maybe other-frame-window needs some enhancement
to allow such protocols, otherwise we will need to test for each
similar feature by name, and that is both inelegant and a maintenance
burden, as both Emacs and those packages continue to evolve.

Thanks.
