Easy multitasking using tabs

Here's an idea that would make Zettel unique and offer something that no other app does. I've tried many note apps, the vast majority of which are here https://www.noteapps.ca but I don't know of any app for Android where it's easy to multitask or work on more than one note at the same time, it's like every developer thought the same, that a person only needs to write new information, there are no easy solutions for those who need to transfer information from one or several notes to another or consult one note while writing another. My idea was for the app to have tabs like browsers, where in each tab it was possible to open a different note and switch between tabs to consult or edit the notes. The tabs would appear at the bottom of the top area, the existing icons would be moved a little higher to create space for the tabs, they would have the same behavior as in a browser, when starting the app the contents of the initial window would already appear in a tab, next to the tab there would be a + sign to create a new tab, the content of each new tab was always the initial window. Zettel would not be a note-taking app among many others, but an app that stood out for being the only one capable of easy multitasking.

Wow, this functionality would take Zettel Notes to another level.
The proposed option of a button, as in Web browsers, has the drawback that it would take two clicks to reach a tab, so if you are going to work a lot with more than one file at a time, it was worth sacrificing a little screen.
Something practical would be for the tabs to only appear when you have more than one file open. I also think that the height of the tabs should be the minimum, showing the text of the file name they correspond to with a small letter.

The option to simultaneously edit notes at the same time would help some people. However, having multiple always displayed tabs would take up precious mobile screen real estate, which is why most mobile browsers use a small button in the title bar or navigate bar to open a pop-up showing open tabs. Exploring for possible solutions would be worth while.

Thomas Thai: I totally agree. FireFox has a small button that shows the number of tabs open. All you have to do is tap to see open tabs on their phone app.

definitely a much needed option. Its absence is the only reason I still use Obsidian for my creative project. (Because in most ways, Obsidian sucks!)
