Well, from the peanut gallery, to me there's an obvious preference--number 4--it should start a new instance in the current workspace. For now it doesn't affect me, because until I get a lexer for askRhk, I'm only experimenting with Geany. But, once I start using Geany as my default editor, I'd expect to have at least one instance in every workspace (desktop) that I'm using, and files that I open in the workspace should open in the instance of Geany in that workspace.
