Hey Chris, Thanks for the reply!
The problem is that I want to keep the current selection in the project (which is why I want to open the other file in a new window in the first place). I know I can also use the contextual menu in the Currently Open Documents area of the sidebar, but again, in addition to opening the document in a new window, it also selects it in the project (and I don't want to change the selection method from one click to double-click). I also knew about the AppleScript way, and another method is to use BBEdit's disk browser. But I hoped I was overlooking some pref.
