Multiple windows
Ability to open more windows for any application.
motivation : you have a need for the user to see more than one screen / view at once, rather than requiring them to navigate back and forwards in the same window.
on desktop you want to open / spawn more than one window.
on web the equivalent is a new browser tab ( not gio tab ). The user could then break out the tab manually to a window if on desktop.
On mobile , it’s a new app window. In other words it’s just like a non multi window app.
So to achieve a consistent outcome we need slightly different behaviour on each device type.
The other way is to use web view on mobile and desktop and open gio tabs . On web it opens browser tabs.

there is another way which is to make each window a 100% separate gio app.
On desktop it’s just a cmd.exec. On web it’s just a new URL On mobile it’s a new URL Scheme.
Would appreciate any suggestions / ideas about this.
At the moment I like the “ each window is a completely different gio app “ approach .
