There may be a contrib module for this. I don't know. In any case,  
some untested code follows:

isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible ws)
lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w ws

You can then use lazyView exactly as you would use view or greedyView  
(it should have the same type). Good luck,
