The recently announced "Spread" feature will provide a discoverable way to open new instances of an application window, see http://design.canonical.com/2012/03/task-switching-in-ubuntu-and-a-introduction-to-the-spread/ and http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/unity-task-switching/ for full details.
As this is a whole project that requires implementation (and which will be tracked separately), I am marking this bug 'confirmed' but no action should be taken to resolve this bug outside of "The Spread" project.
