I can't tell you which API but a good start is EModelService#detach
which allows to detach a complete stack.

It is used by DetachedDropAgent and my initial comment was wrong one can
detach any MPartSashContainerElement which is a part or a complete stack.

I manage to detach my view. My code isn't 100% ok, but it's a start. I placed a button on my view, and on its widgedSelected listener method, I did this:
EPartService ePartService = (EPartService)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService( EPartService.class );
MPart mPart = ePartService.findPart( VIEW_ID ); // This is a const of mine.
EModelService eModelService = (EModelService)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService( EModelService.class );
MPlaceholder placeHolder = mPart.getCurSharedRef();
eModelService.detach( placeHolder, 50, 50, 100, 100 ); // Gotta compute correct bounds.
