If you zoom in on the photo you will see what I am describing.

If the bottom latches are released, and the window is pushed outward, i would expect it to fall off the RV.
The question then becomes, is it possible to install some type of mechanism that would allow the top of the window to be retained if the latches are released and the window is opened partially? The trick would be to allow opening a little bit and in an emergency situation, allow it to come off if opened more.
Looks like a potential MOD to me.
Split hinges? Half hinges?
Installed in the right orientation, you might be able to open it a little for venting, a lot for removal.
Just a thought.
