[Seaside] How to open a new window/tab with a new root component within the same session?

[Esteban Maringolo]

Hi Johan, Gerhard,

I was opening on other tabs, using the `target: '_blank'` approach,
but for callbacks returning content with inline disposition (e.g.
HTML/PDF reports), however the trick I was missing was the one that
Gerhard suggested, using the `self session presenter show:
(MyComponent new)`.

I wasn't aware of the `presenter` in the session, and I don't know
exactly what it does, but it works!

I though I understood Continuations when Seaside was originally
released, and when I ported Seaside 2.7 to Dolphin, but now with this
I have to assume I can't explain WHY it works. :-|

I'm willing to learn the WHY if somebody wants to explain, I could
donate to a bounty if necessary. :)

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,


Esteban A. Maringolo
