only one of the open windows.
No, you can't do that.
Either copy the text of the file into a new buffer, or give the existing buffer a
new name and then load the file again. E.g.:
:e file.txt
:f newname.txt
:s file.txt
You are then editing two different buffers, both originally containing file.txt,
but one of which has been renamed to newname.txt (and will be written with that
name if you write it).
