New Window directly from Page/Spread
I'd like to have the option to create a new window/tab/view into a file from a specific page/spread. I keep my Pages panel open, so I'd want to be able to right click a page and open a new window (that I can place on another screen as a reference).
My workaround would be to export as a PDF and open the relevant page in Acrobat on my second screen, or manually create a new window and then navigate to the relevant page.
Being able to do this in a single step saves a small amount of time, but convenience is the grease that keeps our cogs turning instead of grinding, and minimizing frustrating tedium is a value all its own.
I can see 3 entry points for this.
1. from the right click menu on a page/spread within the Pages panel
2. from context menu on a specific page canvas directly (kind of negates the benefit, but we don't have a duplicate view/new window already available there)
3. as a drag operation, possibly with a modifier key, if you were to drag a page/spread out of the Pages panel, simulating the physical action of opening that page in a new tab/window.
Why is it valuable? It saves several seconds of needless scrolling per session, per file. For folks work on much larger documents, it would naturally add up quickly (time saved).
