Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/8350

Description

I would like to suggest a feature allowing users to open several independent windows of AppFlowy at the same time, similar to what is possible in some note-taking or productivity applications (e.g. VS Code). This would enable workflows where users can work on different pages or documents side-by-side, potentially on different monitors or workspaces. Main use cases include comparing different documents, referencing notes while editing another, and improved multitasking.

Impact

Power users, researchers, students, writers, and anyone who benefits from multitasking or referencing multiple documents at once will find this feature especially valuable. Users with multi-monitor setups or those who need focused windows for different tasks will also benefit.

Additional Context

Currently, AppFlowy supports multi-panes/tabs within a single window, but not multiple application-level windows. Implementing this feature would bring AppFlowy in line with other productivity tools and enhance user flexibility in managing their workspace.

+1 here. In line with this, it would also be beneficial to be able to open any page in a new tab—even if it is within a database/grid.
