How can I callback the client and expose a new Channel with instance context

Question
I'm making a WCF service with netTcpBinding which has a main lobby with multiple chatrooms which the clients can enter. The Lobby class implements ILobby as the service contract.
When a client wishes to enter a room I want to callback the client exposing a new Channel containing the InstanceContext for the room he just entered but after much searching I am doubting that this is possible.
For example on the Service side I might have
class Lobby : ILobby
{
Dictionary<string, Chatroom> rooms;
public void JoinRoom(string roomname)
{
if (rooms[roomname].TryEnter()) {}
}
}
class ChatRoom : IChatRoom
{
public bool TryEnter(string username)
{
ILobbyCallback callback =
OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel<ILobbyCallback>();
// How do I do this next bit?
callback.JoinedRoom(pass some instance context here);
return true;
}
}
On the client side callback method I want
public void JoinedRoom(InstanceContext for the room on the service side)
{
// Create a new WCF proxy using above InstanceContext
// Create a WPF UI for the new room passing the proxy so it can communicate
// with the room class directly without going via the root service
}
Is this possible? What's the best practice for spawning new classes with their own contracts on the service side? Or do I just have to bundle everything into one massive MyService class and handle everything myself?
