In general, this will work if the glass material is highly transparent, and has an index of refraction (try 1.25)

It will be necessary that you have something substantial to reflect.

To test with a simple model, Try placing some objects which will reflect much like the tree in your sample.

Do any users have experience with this?

I usually set the glass to the `metal`preset then increase transparency to between 75-85 that way you can achieve a strong reflection - It all depends on relative light falling on window also - set you lights on different channels and tweak after render in image editor to `maximise` the reflection.The sample above may have had the ambient light reduced to maximise effect - certainly does not look like strong sunlight.
