Routing command to another graphical terminal

So, I'm in a graphical terminal (xfce4-terminal) and I was wondering, would there be a way to type a command, and it run in a new terminal window?? An example would be like, say that I want to open a .txt file, but I want it in a different window, instead of the one that I'm currently using because of whatever reason. Would there be a way for me to type something along the lines of
Code:
nano example.txt

and have it bring up a new terminal window, in which "example.txt" is being viewed with nano, and the original window is still there and nano is not running on it. If all of that makes since, maybe I'm making it sound too complex.

NAME
kiki-the-nano-bot - Kiki the nano bot, a 3D puzzle game SYNOPSIS
kiki-the-nano-bot DESCRIPTION
Kiki the nano bot is a 3D puzzle game, mixing Sokoban and Kula World. THE STORY
Once upon a time, there were some tiny little robots living in the nano world. They lived a happy artificial life busily collecting resources for the Maker who made more and more tiny little robots. But one day, a parasitic capacity destroyed the Maker's master control program. Since then he is malfunctioning and only producing lazy stupid little robots which shoot each other and destroy the nano world. Your task is to help kiki, the only sane bot left over, to repair the Maker. HOW TO PLAY
To solve the game, you have to complete several levels. Every level has it's own task. Pressing ESC will display a menu with a 'help' item which explains what you have to do in order to fulfill this task. Once you managed to fulfill the task, the exit gate will be activated. If kiki moves through the activated exit gate, it will be 'beamed' to the next level. The following table lists the default keys you will use to control kiki's actions: Up Move forward Down Move backward Left Turn left Right Turn right Space Shoot Control Jump Shift Push Page down Change view Home Look up End Look down You may change the keys in the keyboard setup screen. For more information, see the game's web site. SEE ALSO
