Start11 request: Quick access side shortcuts always open a new window

Clicking on a right hand panel shortcut when I already opened a window with the same shortcut would just have me switch to that window even if I now have a different folder opened in that window. Could there be an option to have the shortcuts always open a new window?

Is it an issue?

By shortcuts, I'm referring to the personal folder links. Forgot to mention I'm using the Modern style, so I said right hand panel.

When I open File Explorer window with the Documents link, clicking Documents would always switch to that window till I close it even if the window now has a different folder opened. I basically want the shortcuts to always open a new window.

Edit: Ok, just did more testing. Apparently, switching styles seems to have removed the aforementioned behavior I mentioned. If I open a different folder in the window I opened with a link, clicking the link again would open a new window. The link would only switch to a window if I have the folder opened in that window. I've yet to figure out what's causing the previous behavior.

I'd still want an option for the shortcuts to always open a new window even if I already have that folder opened in a window, if possible.
