Thanks for the response, (jenia looks interesting) but my current problem space is more basic. I'm mainly concerned with the mechanics of opening a 'new' browser window. Once the window is open it is largely independent - in the sense that it no longer needs to communicate with the 'desktop' page. Analogous to opening eclipse from a desktop.

If you have a look at Jenia4Faces, there is a popup library that is
meant to integrate child windows into the JSF framework. You may want
to have a look to see if that fits your needs. If you are concerned
about multiple windows interfering with each other in a server saved
state you may also want to look at JBoss-Seam for their "conversation
state" support that allows windows to have their own state on the
server (it is not quite that simple, but it is the basic affect).
