A bit trickier solution would be to add the possibility to lock a given patch, i.e forbid to open it twice.
This could be either via an additional object (e.g [lock]), or a GUI property that would be saved into the patch file, like the font size. This would require that, when a patch is requested for opening, the file would be first read, then discard if either [lock] is present or lock_property is set and a toplevel patch of this file is already opened.
