Basically what the title says. Is this possible?

A: 

There is a special function for this:

customize-group-other-window is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `cus-edit.el'.

(customize-group-other-window &optional GROUP)

Customize GROUP, which must be a customization group, in another window.

I know about that function. But clicking on customize in the menu runs `customize-group` not `customize-group-other-window`. I want `customize-group` to be an alias for `customize-group-other-window`

A: 

Look at special-display-regexps.

There are a couple options that might work:

  1. Specify an entry like (REGEXP FRAME-PARAMETERS) with (same-frame . t). I don't know if this will necessarily use a different window (in contrast to (same-window . t)).

  2. Specify an entry like (REGEXP FUNCTION OTHER-ARGS) where the FUNCTION argument is customize-group-other-window. It's normally used with a new frame, so you might have to play with the special-display-function too.
