Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Opening a window when one is already open is currently pretty inconvenient, as there is no way to do so other than manually launching from outside of the launcher. This feature would be the most effective way to tackle this problem.

Describe the solution you'd like
An implementation of this feature - middle clicking an icon opening a new window, whether or not one is already open.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Launching from another source like rofi is the only way to do this currently. Another way this could be done is to have it as an action in a right-click menu, which I see has already been suggested in #247, but is not as convenient.

Additional context
This is a feature present in many other launchers.
