Which makes this a duplicate of bug 33173, along with the dev effort needed for
MDI to manage multiple document "tabs" in a single app frame as for bug 33174

The hooks are there (look at the legacy Main Menu -> Windows menu), but the GUI
framework requires new cross platform development.

Would need extensive UX design work to scope a new document framework--and a
dev/devs with self-interest to implement, or a tender to fund the effort.

Frankly, I don't see that forthcoming from the community nor TDF authoring a
funding tender to implement.
