My quick thoughts.

I think the way to do this is route it through the DisplayControl.

The DisplayControl is already using an interface to deal with its two
types of containers. (It is currently called JmolStatusListener ... but it
is going to get a name change to JmolContainer).

We can define a JmolContainer method to determine whether or not the
container is multi-window capable. The IO code could route through the
control to a) determine whether or not the container is capable of opening
up multiple windows, b) request it to do so.

I agree that this is not a short-term thing.
