Have you considered telling them that it's not really what Mac users expect, and that there's no straightforward way to support it? (Not that it can't be done, just that it's not easy.)

I'm not trying to be snide in asking you that. I've found that occasionally when I'm writing Macintosh software for people who aren't themselves Macintosh users or developers, they ask for things that aren't really good fits for the Macintosh user experience. When I explain what Macintosh users expect and how the platform works, and that what they're asking for won't have much payoff, often I find that they'll say "Oh, OK. Never mind then."
