I think that there is absolutely no way you can make money from players chasing hands in Omaha Hi. Simply because, so many people do chase hands and probably if you haven't been outdrawn by the river, there will probably be around 3 players still chasing flush draws or straight draws and this could probably mean that more than half the deck are cards that you will lose with.
on the turn, i have the nut straight with two of a suit out (and no pairs on the board), and 3 players are drawing to a flush. i put out a pot sized bet (ruining their pot-odds).

this is no different than hold em - if you bet to ruin someone's pot odds on their draw, and they continue drawing, they are making a mistake. you are still the favorite to win the hand, and in the "one long poker session", by pushing them to make a mistake, you will profit.

say it with me, dwarfman, omaha goooooooooooood!
i hate what i have become to escape what i hated being...
