FUNCTIONALITY: Using TM with 2 Monitors

[BendixSpring]

If a developer has 2 monitors, one with the main TM interface and one with a tear off menu (right click and open in a new window) holding the selected article.

This is the configuration I am using:

I would have expected that the tear off menu display each page as it is selected. However, this is not how things work. The tear off menu only shows the selected page (which is fine, but it would be nice to have a way to display any subsequent selections in one window, rather than opening a new tab for each subsequent selection).

In an nutshell, is there a way to have all of the articles display in a single window (where ever the user may have it)?

Technically that is not very hard to do (since in JavaScript you get a pointer to the 'opened window' )

But how should we represent that in the GUI?

Dinis:

A couple of ideas come to mind:

1.   Users should be able to configure the behavior of the system, so if they have double monitors or if they just want to have all articles open in the same window, then make a click on the article go to that window.  (This would be a configuration toggle).

2.  From the GUI:  perhaps add another very small column right in front of the TITLE column that would open the article in a certain destination window.

3.  Include another icon on the selected article window to open a window where all subsequent requests will be sent.
