Is there a way to add a dropdown button that displays all the current windows opened by Directory Opus (dopus.exe), allowing you to click on each window in the list to navigate to it, similar to a dropdown folder menu button?
I don't have that 
What version are you running ?
Self-created menu using "Set LISTERCMD?"
This menu has been around for a while.
To reach it via the context menu, you probably need to uncheck Preferences / Toolbars / Options / Move top-row toolbars into the window title bar.
It's also available via left-click on the Opus icon in the left corner.
Thanks for the info.
I see it in neither of those places in 13.13.4 nor in Default Toolbars. For me it is not a loss as I could create those options if I wanted any of them accessible.
How many listers are open? The menu will not show if there's just one lister open.
That's the secret, With another lister opened, the option appeared. Thanks, again!
That's great! However, I can't help but ask if a customized button can be created. This would reduce mouse operations and bring convenience.
I am not aware of any command that would support this. Could be something like Go LISTERLIST that creates a dynamic button. Certainly seems useful.
A script could create a dialog that shows all open listers. I am not sure, though, if there is a control that doesn't require a confirmation after the selection. That extra step would be a bit clumsy.
Maybe you like CycleListers. That script lets you cycle through listers like documents.
The closest thing I can think of would be to use this :
And instead of building the menu statically, build it dynamically with the list of openend listers.
Bits of CycleListers could be reused, or ones from SwitchLister :
EDIT : This is not a dynamic button exactly, but kind of acts like it.
A bit "quick and dirty" (could use more information about each lister displayed) but, it can be something like this :

A slightly more advanced version, with customizable entries :
- Drive letter can prefix each entry
- First folder in path can also be added
- Tab count (per pane) can also be displayed
- The layout the lister is coming from can also be appended at the end
Changed way to display the single/dual listers (vert. & horiz) with some unicode characters.

Thank you very much. I created a button and used your command. The list shows, but when I click on an entry hoping to jump to the corresponding window, nothing happens. Is this not achievable?
Sorry, small bug in the script : it's not working if you choose the last item in the list.

Thanks a lot! It's very neat just as what I expected. My gut tell me it can be done, you rock!
