Yup.

To be 100% clear, let me try to restate exactly what I have in mind.

I want to call something like

 (pop-to-buffer BUFFER
   '((display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-window)
     (reuse-indirect . t)))

1. If there is a window displaying BUFFER, switch to that window
2. If there is a window that is an indirect buffer of BUFFER or that
   shares the same base buffer with BUFFER, switch to that window
3. Otherwise, pop up a new window displaying BUFFER

(2) is the feature I am failing to find.
