Just curious - isn't it possible to open a link with `qvm-open-in-dvm`
in your ThunderbirdVM and tweak the corresponding rpc service
(qubes.OpenInVM) to open a whonix-dvm ? Alternatively you could create a
new RPC service just for that (it's pretty easy).
In my setup thunderbird opens links with `qvm-open-in-vm` in a
"semi-permanent" dispVM (eg., a VM of DispVM class), this way I know the
name of the dispVM in advance - in my case 'dispBrowser' and I don't
have to wait each time for a dispVM to start. That's a bit of a security
compromise, but then I just have to power the VM to get it back to a
clean slate.
