Huh? We're talking about real, live, applications here, not web pages.
These apps (eg: Thunderbird, Pidgin) have no way to signal they want a
new window, all they're doing is saying "hey, here's a url, will
whatever Windows has configured to open it please do so")

As I said before, the "seperate processes" really doesn't have anything
to do with this, so please stop getting hung up on it ;-)
yes, I *could* detach the window, but that's a PITA when it should just
happen automatically...

No, this would not. Web sites expect links to open in the current tab.
If they want otherwise, they will use a <a href="blah" target="_new">.
Configuring where *new* windows requested by web pages in this way go
would be useful, but has nothing to do with what I'm asking about.
I want to be able to have urls opened by operating system applications
open in new windows, not in a tab in the current window. This is
especially annoying when the "current window" happens to be an incognito
window that I was doing something specific in...
