Small window focusing on character text message

Pardon the rather odd title, but I had quite a trouble even thinking of one!

Right then! Now onto the reason why you clicked here:

What I aim to do is, aside from having a normal face-set on the chat window for dialogue between characters and events, I was wondering if it was possible to have a small window which focuses in (not zoom, simply focuses onto the player or event in a small frame) on the character that is speaking and shows what is going on in the map currently.

It would pan over to other characters depending on which character is speaking, hopefully a quick pan over to limit delay between messages and not seem too jittery.

Here is a (rather shoddy) visual I prepared to help explain this idea:

Any help would be VERY greatly appreciated, and if further explanation is needed I'd be happy to give it.

Thank you very much for your support!
