Interesting to see and thank you for sharing.
In the mean time I tried to find out how to get the number of the dispvm
that you have started and I still think there is no way to do so by
design. However there can be policies which VM to use in OpenInVM using
the file /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenInVM

as shown
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qrexec/
https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/common-tasks/opening-urls-in-vms.md

however something about this does not work for me, which is why I wrote
"Configuration in /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenInVM not applied" to this
mailing list as a separate topic.
