Answers:
Window security film coverings are available from a number of sources. However, note that while they are capable of withstanding bullets or baseball bats (and I assume hammers) their potential weakness is how well they are bonded to the frame. So they are an option but investigate carefully before deciding. See the links for further information.
No offense but WOW! I hope you don't strictly experience "hammer" attacks to your windows? I might consider re-locating... :)
Certainly in your case if aesthetics aren't a major concern, and your budget allows, you might investigate "Plexi" similar to what banks and some convenience stores use for security. It's optically acceptable, and often thick enough to allow your notion of hinging and using in multiple ways...Yes that part is a good/valid/viable idea.
Good luck.

you can install alarm to the house. Arm the house
A good solid wood dolly placed in the track of the window provide additional security.
There are clerestory windows that are high up near ceiling and often so narrow that someone could not climb in them. That would be a deterrent to house break-ins.
You could also try using glass blocks for light without ventilation. They are of such strong glass that a hammer would only chip them and even a pick ax would not make a quick hole through them.
dam dude where do u live?
buy a gun man... if u hear a scrape on the window just start firing at that direction. dont hit the dog
