Use only one browser window

When using the script cocodaURL it should open in the same Tab you are currently in, furthermore opening new Tabs everytime slows down your browser, so it should be avoided.

I think this can only be done by a browser preference.

The problem is that, to achieve this, the script would have to communicate directly with the tab inside the browser. I'm not sure if this is even possible at all.

We could create a hack:

  • configure a "remote control token" in WinIBW (requires #7)
  • build a remote control web service that WinIBW send commands to (for instance the full query URL of Cocoda)
  • extend Cocoda to listen to the remote control webservice

This is not implemented, right? I'll change it to "not planned".
