Is there a way to open multiple Windows for the same Working directory. VS Code

I have a situation thats not a major issue but I feel is possible. Coming from a Video editing background, theres the need to work on multiple Monitors for various parts of your workflow.

I dont know if anyone is familiar with after effects or / Premier Pro where you can Drag your different pannels onto a new screen.

Example of what Im trying to Describe in Adobe Premiere

Basically Instead of "open to the side" opening in the same window -> can this possibly be opened on a new screen so they are both save-able and editable to the same working directory.

You can press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P to bring up the command palette and search for Workspaces: Duplicate Workspace In New Window

EDIT: You can now drag the tab from the editor to a new window.

The current VS Code Insiders has support for floating editor windows, see https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_84#_floating-editor-windows.

The command is: View: Move Active Editor into a New Window
