Reconnect to remote server without reloading the whole screen and share a single ssh connection when working on multiple projects in the same machine

I really think that the current UX is horrible for people who work with many repositories through ssh. Every day when I stop working, all of my connections are lost and in the next day I have to click on this "Reload Window" button so many times.

And the worst problem is that the extension reloads VScode entirely instead of just reopening the connection.

I want to reconnect to all my repos without clicking on multipe "Reload Window" buttons (one for each project that was open when the connection was lost). If all of my projects are on the same remote machine, one click to reopen the connection to this machine would provide a much better UX.

I would also like to request a different approach to what happens when I click on the "Reload Window" button. Please, can't you make it just reload the connection instead of restarting the entire VSCode instance?

Start by reproducing the multi-project remote-connection loss described in the issue and compare the repeated Reload Window flow with reconnecting once per remote machine. Done means projects reopen without a full VS Code reload and a shared connection is reused where applicable; the issue names no files or tests, so implementation entry points still need discovery.
