Description

So instead of moving a window to a particular workspace, you tag it with the workspace's name and it appears on all the workspaces it's tagged to.

This naturally implies named workspaces.

Windows could be tagged by calling a program that would tag the focused window.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the workspace and focused-window handling in the repository, then determine how named workspaces and multi-workspace window visibility should interact; done means windows can be tagged by name, appear in each tagged workspace, and can be tagged through a program.
