Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Working with windows that spawn other windows is somewhat annoying with Karousel since the new window will most likely appear in a new column and move the current workspace to the left.
I've been dealing with this a lot when editing launch options in Steam while having my browser open in the other half of the screen to paste the commands.
Describe the solution you'd like
Is it possible to make it so child windows always appear in the column of the parent window by default? Having either the stacked or tiled layouts would work.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Karousel handles newly spawned child windows and chooses their column, then compare the behavior in stacked and tiled layouts. Done means child windows default to the parent window's column without disrupting the surrounding workspace arrangement.
