I like this a lot.  Consider this a "me-too" msg.

Though, I think this comes under the general category of "Fix all those
niggly little WPS problems..."  But in general, it would be nice if
it were easier to open objects w/different settings instead of having to
go into the notebook each time.  For example, I like the feature of
being able to open the desktop as a window (complete with a frame).
Wish there were a direct way (i.e., w/o human intervention) to do it,
other than by having to write a REXX script.
