Steve,

I think your guess is correct. The usual way to do this is to have an
invisible stack that serves as a document window template, and clone it
as required. It works well in my experience.

I would say that if variables apply only to a certain window (stack)
they would probably be better as local variables or properties of the
cloned stacks rather than global variables. But it might depend on your
specific situation.
