When opening Obsidian via desktop/start shortcut, open new window

Right now, when you have Obsidian open, using the Obsidian shortcut on desktop/start will open the Obsidian vault switcher.

When using virtual desktops, and you have Obsidian on another desktop, it can be a pain when you want to jump into Obsidina.

Now that we have multi-window support, I would love to be able to open another Obsidian window right away, or something similar of the sort.

I have the same problem in Windows, but it’s just with normal desktops. Obsidian is all about great keyboard access – no need to grab the mouse.

When I’m in another program, I want to press a hotkey and pull Obsidian to the front, not open up the Vault dialog and start a new instance, which is how it seems to work now.
