Hi, that would be great if that could work this way. But the problem is that, if you dedicate a workspace to each task, when you click on an application that you don't have opened on the current desktop but have opened on a different workspace (for a different task), gnome-shell moves you away from your current workspace instead of opening a new window of that application. And that breaks this paradigm.
