Hi my name is Ollie and I'm addicted to my OmniWeb workspaces...

My request is for a means to control which workspace OmniWeb launches into.

I like to imagine the different workspaces as 'documents' or 'aliases' I could selectively launch with depending on the activity OmniWeb is aiding me with.

Alternatively holding 'Option' or whatever while launching OmniWeb to select a workspace before it loaded my previous workspace.

Essentially the problem is some of my workspaces get a little heavy in tabs/windows from time to time. This is mildly annoying when I launch OmniWeb and one of these loads as the previous space when I'm looking to change to another space immediately.

Taking advantage of this would be tricky in the common scenario where OmniWeb has been asked to open a link by another app (e.g. NetNewsWire). While I'm letting my imagination run loose; Perhaps these workspaces could be made available as independent 'apps' - like flavors of OmniWeb. Potentially providing each workspace with an 'Open with' option ie:
Firefox, OmniWeb, OmniWeb:browsing, OmniWeb:shopping, Safari...

Or instead, a little closer to earth perhaps, a preference to select the workspace used when links are opened by other apps. Although I can see this could be frustrating in some scenarios.

Lastly the lateral approach would be to make it easier to move loaded tabs into other workspaces. Currently it is necessary to ensure the loaded webpage/s are in independent windows before I can move them to another - background workspace. Additionally it is necessary to reveal the workspaces window to do this. I imagine an option in the action menu or contextual menu on the tabs palette or the web page itself would be great. This would help me keep my workspaces a little trimmer and tidier.

I hope you can see the intention behind my suggestions?
