Keep contributed part hidden till requested [message #1767105]

I have a base plugin-project that serves as the base of my application. I'm trying to contribute to it through other plugin-projects (fragments).
In one such fragment, I want to contribute a window with it's own part sash container, stack, and new part for a tool I'm contributing to the application.
I don't want this tool to show up till requested for by executing a command.

How do I create the part contribution in a way that allows this? Currently, if the part isn't actively placed within an existing part-stack, it's not instantiated.

I've tried using placeholders in the contribution project, but to no avail.
I've tried to keep the new part within its own window within the contribution project. However, the window opens up with the main application; something i'd like to prevent.

Can this be done?
