Re: [w3c/manifest] Single-window mode option (#597)

@annevk I agree and I'm quite conscious of building tech that takes away options from power users.

However, this is a feature request we're getting a lot when asking potential customers about desktop PWAs. I think the best solution is to 1. make multi-window the default, 2. let developers override that default if desired, and 3. let users override that override if they want to.

So I'm a fan of Jake's "launch" event proposal, which is basically my suggestion but it doesn't trigger in situations where the user has been explicit about their intent. Essentially, it means a left-click on a link or shortcut behaves as the developer wishes (can collapse into a single window), but a middle-click or right-click-open-in-new-tab on a link bypasses the "launch" event and always opens a new browsing context. Are you OK with this?
