If you haven't already done so, send in your feature request via Help->Send Feedback or email
omnifocus@omnigroup.com for a preference that controls whether OmniFocus opens new windows or recycles the current one. I have a feeling that our preferred values will be related by the XOR operator :-) When I click on a growl notification, I usually do that task and promptly close the window, then go back to what I was previously doing. I don't use the due count in the dock icon feature (mostly because I use start dates rather than due dates for most actions, and also because I keep the dock hidden), but I would probably do the same thing, as it is also my practice with web browsers. It's actually kind of a convenient way to pick out a selection of things to work on; I get the flurry of notifications in the morning, and pop up windows for the ones I want to do. I cycle through the stack of windows doing the selected actions (they are highlighted, so easy to spot) and closing the containing window after doing each one. Sometimes I'll double-click the containing project to get a separate, focused window if a quick glance suggests I'll want to do more than just the task that triggered the notification.
I wouldn't dream of suggesting my way is the only way or the best way. If someone finds it to be useful in developing their own preferred way, that's great. I'm always looking to adopt other people's great ideas :-)
