The OP's use of the word 'many' is subjective.  Too you it might mean 5, 
to him it could very well mean 3.  To me, either one is possible on many 
of my forms, since I try to provide the user with flexibility and 
function on each of my screens.  Sometimes there are several things that 
a form could lead to, depending upon what the user needs to see or do.

In this case, I can see the purpose for a separate window being opened. 
  Sometimes (as a user myself) I have wished to have a screen of data 
appear to support my primary screen's use.  It opens, I get some new 
input and I close it, going back to where I was.

We obviously don't know the OP's task, but I can see usefulness and 
appreciate it.

Just my $.02
