Chome Browser Extension, Javascript

Chome Browser Extension, Javascript I want to use Chrome browser as my application interface, so that each tab in the browser represents a different layer of the application, ie Customers, Orders, Suppliers etc.. Imagine you are in the Orders tab on the browser and you click on the customer name against an order, it should then load the customer contact page in the Customers Tab, passing the defined variables and changes focus to the Customers Tab. I presume this would be in some form of Javascript, passing the variables in the URL/Form structures or via Ajax. The functionality must detect if the tab being called is open, if not it should open a new tab. FireFox has a similar function called **openUILinkIn()**
