So the question is, is there a way to check if a certain abstraction is already open? You could use a so called singleton. I'm using a crudbe, but working one in sssad which you could just grab. It's a wrapper abstraction which you call with the name of another abstraction as argument. It will make sure, that the passed abstraction is created only the first time, the singleton is used.
