Opening a set of different model files in quad view

Detailed description of your suggestion

A way to display 4 different projects on a quad or other customized view for efficient editing, could be imagined as prefabs like in unity

I can already say now that this one won't happen, due to the state of UI and data relying heavily on having one project opened at a time, across the entire codebase and in pretty much all plugins. What exactly is the problem you are trying to solve with this one? One potential alternative I could see for sharing objects of different projects with each other would be the concept of "Proxy" objects. These could be added to the outliner like any other type of object, but would display either a different project, or a group or element from another project.

Thanks for the response, this would be mostly useful for productivity, where i need to reference smaller components regurlary to build assembled scenes, which requires regular comparisons and measurements between models

Perhaps collections could fullfill this purpose in some way, where you can quickly swap between the collection states.
