But maybe you rather meant something like

(setq
 display-buffer-alist
 '((((regexp . ".*"))
    ;; Reuse another window on any visible frame showing the buffer
    ;; already, overriding application supplied specifiers.
    (reuse-window other same 0)
    ;; Reuse another window on the same frame showing another buffer,
    ;; overriding application supplied specifiers.
    (reuse-window other other)
    (override . t)
    ;; Reuse the same window.
    (reuse-window same))))

for a call like

(display-buffer "*scratch*" 'same-window)
