The reports tool is non-modal which is why it needs a refresh button in case you delete or change things using other editing tools while it is open.

Saved Searches is also non-modal and you can already assign a keyboard short cut to Saved Searches.

Since neither are modal, simply leave them up, no need to dock either of them. Just refresh them when needed.

BTW, some reports support deleting right in the report itself.
