You could modify MysterX to accept a window argument when constructing
an mx-browser% instance.  You'd have to write code for finding the HWND
you want, and wrapping it in a Scheme object.  If you're always going to
be using the same window as the parent, you could modify MysterX to use
that HWND for you, without it showing up in Scheme.

A Windows child window is still separate from its parent, though, so
maybe that's not what you want.
