A similar thought / request occurred to me recently. I was working on an article which referenced a previous article, and I needed a way to reference the old article while writing the new one. Really wished for a way to open both simultaneously. Personally, I was kind of wishing for a "split win

Jaap, I agree with everything you wrote, and in fact, just had an alternate idea that would (potentially) simplify the idea... What about using a Tabbed interface instead? The Tabs could replace the path bar (ie, be a different option for the path bar). The ideas would be: • A new "Tabs" menu

And, in fact, the original request was for a way to view 2 or more documents simultaneously. I was thinking that my need was really only for a way to be able to quickly flip between documents, not that I needed to really have them side-by-side... That's why I went to a tabbed interface. By letti

No, the pathbar isn't the same...it's a path or a history, not *specific* documents that you want open. The only way to get the kind of ability I want is to have the Index open, but I don't really want that much screen used, nor do I want to navigate a whole outline to switch between documents. I
