That is not going to be easy, even if it is possible. You'll probably
need to implement your own sessioning on the server side so you can
force the sessionId into the URL and not use cookies. Then on the client
side you'll need some javascript to detect when the user opens an
existing page (with the embedded sessionId) into a new browser window.
The javascript would need to re-request the page from the server asking
for a new session id... or something like that... I'm not even sure if
what I just described is doable, but it is the only thing I can come up
with.
You might want to reconsider your approach. Perhaps if you told us what
problem you were trying to solve by using sessions per browser window we
could help more.
