Can the same Adobe AIR app run more than once?

Question

As the title says, is there a way to run the same Adobe AIR app more than once? I have a little widget I wrote that shows thumbnails from a couple of photo streams, and I'd like to fix it so I can look at more than one stream at a time. Thanks!

It seems that this is not possible. From the documentation:

Only one instance of an AIR application is started. When an already running application is invoked again, AIR dispatches a new invoke event to the running instance.

It also gives a possible workaround:

It is the responsibility of an AIR to respond to an invoke event and take the appropriate action (such as opening a new document window).

There is already a bug related to this on the bugtracker, but it is marked closed with no explicit resolution given...
