Another option is that in the menu that opens from the little monitor icon, where you can select the R session, a whole submenu would be inserted.

R1. and R2. open two sessions. If, for example, you have a remote session on R1., then you can start a local one with R2. Or, if session R1 is in a long calculation, and you just quickly want to try something. Or, if you open a second document, but don't want to mix the calculation between the two documents. An alternative is to have a separate session for each document. This means that you can't easily share values between documents. The main times I use this is when I clean up a document, or sum it up - then I open a second, cleaned document.
