I’ve got a global shortcut which calls a script, which creates a new note and opens the new note in Joplin.

I mostly use that when I have to open a new note quickli, like when getting a phone call or similar.

That works great so far.

But it would be great, if it would be possible to open the new note in a new joplin window, and not in the current one. So if i was editing an other note before, it stays open.  
Right now i’m using:

xdg-open "joplin://x-callback-url/openNote?id=$note\_id"

the posiility to call openNoteInNewWindow (or something shorter but understandable) would be great.
