Description

### Problem

It’s too difficult to try to target tiny icons in the workspace group for things like accessing app actions or dragging them to other workspaces

### Proposal

Some method for expanding a workspace group to show all of the app icons in that workspace.

This should probably be a right click/long-press action.

Another possibility would be just showing all the dock icons from a workspace in the dock instead of the card. This would require navigating to that workspace and would take up more space in the dock, but it would be more obvious and not require a click

### Prior Art (Optional)

Obvious solution is just a popover:
