How might one open a separate maxpat in a new window rather than as part of the current running app?

Within the main app, I would like to click on a message button and have a another window open. Currently the separate functionality is in a .maxpat but could easily be put in another container if easier.

Tried adding the 'load' message followed by the name of the patch, but get "load: no such object"

You need to encapsulate the patch you want to open, connect it to a pcontrol object and send pcontrol an "open message. Like this:

also look at the openfile/closefile messages to max in the documentation... it can be a little more dynamic.
