*I THOUGHT* it was matter of if the viewer stays in the foreground or
switches to the background. BUT, chromium-browser --new-window will got to the
background if there's already a chromium-browser window open.

As you say, though, if chromium-browser opens the file BEFORE going into the
background, then it will work.
