But I will give it a shot, when I got a bit more time!
As Breeder noted, "under the hood", REAPER does distinguish between the dockers and they have different window HWNDs, so it should be possible to selectively access them.

Two other useful remarks that I noticed in the other thread:

So I guess you can find specific dockers in at least two ways:
1) Find all the windows named "REAPER_dock", get their coordinates, and check which are positioned at the edges of the main window.
2) If specific windows (such as Actions) are always docked in specific dockers (such as the left docker), you can instead find the window, then find the REAPER_dock that is its parent.

To hide the docker, you can't destroy the docker itself (or its necessary child windows), but must instead destroy the tabs.

I checked the docker's child windows, and it seems that its frame is named "Custom" something.

The following code seems to work to close the docker under the mouse:

Code:
w = reaper.JS_Window_FromPoint(reaper.GetMousePosition())
::getParentDock::
    if not w then return end
    t = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(w, "")
    if t == "REAPER_dock" then goto gotDock end
    w = reaper.JS_Window_GetParent(w)
    goto getParentDock
::gotDock::

a = reaper.new_array({}, 100)
reaper.JS_Window_ArrayAllChild(w, a)
tHandles = a.table()
tTitles = {}
for i = 1, #tHandles do
    tHandles[i] = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress(tHandles[i])
    tTitles[i]  = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(tHandles[i], "")
end
for i = 1, #tHandles do
    if not tTitles[i]:match("Custom") then reaper.JS_Window_Destroy(tHandles[i]) end
end
* Alternatively, you can probably JS_WindowMessage_Send some WM_COMMAND message to simulate the menu item "Close all windows in dock".

* JS_Window_Show(dockerHWND, "HIDE") can hide the docker and JS_Window_Show(dockerHWND, "SHOW") can show it again, but the track view doesn't expand after hiding the docker, so these functions alone aren't enough.

We will have to experiment some more...
