Starting substacks in new window or tab

Is there a way to start substacks in separate windows or FF tabs and still be able to interact with the main stack or with each other?

Nope, I'm afraid that they have to both be on the same web page. Otherwise they're loaded into a separate instance, and can't talk to one another unless you setup the communication via an external mechanism, such as sockets.
Also note that this would require sufficient privileges, which the user has to grant, so be aware of how this may affect user adoption.

You could roll your own tabbed web page and put your each substack on a different tab. I've never actually done so, but seems like it should be possible.
You can find an example here.
