If you're using Maya 2011 you could try this (https://lesterbanks.com/2010/06/docker-for-maya-2011/), not sure if it would work with other versions or not, and haven't tried it myself, but it says it would work for hypershade.

This is from a part referring to scripting the tool I think:

"this will also work for the hypershade:

HypershadeWindow; dockControl -area “left” -content hyperShadePanel1 -label “Hypershade” -allowedArea “left” -allowedArea “right” -width 600; deleteUI “hyperShadePanel1Window” ;"

EDIT: I think that code may actually be a Maya script for it in itself, having read the bit in the link again, not sure though
