I think all parts of the "open in view mode" are already implemented. In the 
file open dialog in Geany, there is a button at the bottom called "View", next 
to "Cancel" and "Open".
This button does exactly what you want: open the file in read-only mode and so 
you can't edit it in Geany. The file is read-only only within Geany, all other 
applications can edit the file as before.

Alternatively, you can apply the read-only mode also to already open documents 
by using the "Document->Read Only" menu item.

In both cases the notebook tab for the file will be colored in green to 
visually indicate the read-only mode.

What is missing the ability to open the same file multiple times. In fact it's 
a feature that this is not possible.
I'm not if I understand your described use case for this correctly. Would you 
use it to have different scroll positions in the various copies of the same 
file?
