You could create an issue in Github requesting an enhancement. To me, the easiest programming option would probably be to have a menu item in the Windows menu that opens a dialog listing the open outlines. More desirable would perhaps be to list them all in the Windows menu, but I don't know if that's very feasible with Leo's menu code ... perhaps. I don't think you are going to get a full MultiDocument Interface with cascading or tiled documents, etc., but if you routinely have so many outlines open those capabilities probably would not be useful anyway.
Leo already has code to find all the open outlines and switch to one of them, so it's mainly a matter of how feasible (and easy!) it would be to come up with an acceptable interface.
