If so, and three different WKViewCreate…() functions are needed, I suggest merging them into one and adding an options parameter.

It should be used in cases like one page calling window.open().  I am not sure how we can merge these into one function, can you explain what its signature would be?

I see now why a separate WKPageRef-based API is needed.
