I tried linking to chrome from Outlook 2007, a gmail "application shortcut", Firefox and a CMD window, all at the same time.on my Vista 32-bit system.
They each opened their own external chrome. Thus, if you don't count the "application shortcut" there were four chromes running. I tried linking from Outlook 2007 again and, you're right, it opened a new tab in the same chrome that was opened earlier by Outlook 2007. But I found this acceptable because I could keep related tabs together and remove all of them by closing the "Outlook 2007 chrome". When I linked from Outlook 2007 again Vista opened up a new chrome.
