Perhaps, though like w/firefox, I can send a tab or drag a tab to another
window -- and it is still only 1 application (who knows how many
threads, though)...

I'm not sure you are understanding that I really only want there
to be 1 application controlling both windows.
In the same way as when I split a window, if I change
something in 1 split, I can see the edits in another split.

In this case, I'm just wanting a it to bring up a new
window. Sorta like in explorer, if I want I can right click
on a folder and say "open folder in new window". It's still
only 1 copy of explorer, but I can have it open multiple windows
on different folders -- if I change something in one of those
windows, I see the change reflected in other windows (usually,
it's a MS-product). ;-)
