You can use winprops to match each drawer specifically so that they always
go to the same frame if you want to.
Do the wmdrawers not put a unique value into the title? Can you make them
do that? If you can make them set a unique name (even "wmdrawer - type")
then you can use the title shortening rules. But if need the names to tell
them apart might I suggest having them use different main icons instead?
Also, the shortening rules work just fine with titles that aren't constant
as long as their is a constant bit you want to remove, that's exactly what
they were designed for.
