A "component" inside a frame comprises a controller and a model. You can not keep the controller without the frame, but you can keep the model and you can use this model later on to recreate a controller including a view from it without reloading the document. To preserve the model from being closed when its last controller gets destroyed you must register as a close listener at it and deny its request for becoming closed. The recreation of the view is a little bit tricky because the necessary API currently does not exist (it's in the making though). We ourselves use the following replacement: use the loadComponentFromURL() method of the desired frame, but pass a parameter "Model" in the MediaDescriptor that contains a reference to the model. This will advise the frame loader to use the existing model and not creating and loading a new one. You must provide the valid URL of the document though (or the stream it was loaded from) to pass the type detection and to avoid confusion in the documents' internal media descriptor.
