Description
### Description
Hello NetBeans team,
first of all, thanks for all the effort you put into building this IDE.
I would like to ask for a feature that many modern IDEs have, multiple istances.
I think this feature is a must have nowadays, and could improve, at least in my use case, the productivity while coding
### Use case/motivation
At work i use to develop on different projects, and i don't like to have unrelated projects opened all together, and switching project groups is not a viable solution because it is too slow for big projects.
Because of this i would like to have a feature like this.
The screenshot attached is taken from the context menu of VSCode, as a further explanation of the kind of feature requested
