you can alter the preview command in the preferences such that it will
not start a new browser window. I assume you already found out how to
set the documentroot and webroot so bluefish will send a http:// URL to
the browser?

I guess there will be more people interested, but it is not an easy
feature to implement, and it will cost a lot of time (which I don't
really have).
