This a great idea. It’s basically “open note in separate window” . It would be great when you need to view multiple notes at the same time.

Some use cases

1 My notes are a mess from my VS Code days. I opened duplicate notes everywhere because it wasn’t easy to see or search them. I’m in process of splitting and joining them to remove duplicates and group information logically.

  1. I try to keep a log of tickets I’m working on in the current sprint j in a notes for the daily standup meeting. It also helps when a project manager messages me “what is the status of x?” when I’m knee deep in a coding or debugging session. My brain doesn’t switch contexts that well, so having an always open note I can glance at would be helpful.

  2. As mentioned above , referencing multiple notes side by side is helpful. Maybe you pasted log output in one note, and other note tells you how to interpret the output.

I still use VS Code for coding an sometimes as external editor, but Joplin is really my main notes app as it just handles them better.
