Multi-monitor functionality

I don’t have much background in programming so I don’t know if this is possible, but I was navigating the menus in game and had an idea. For many of us who use a multi-monitor setup, I would LOVE it if there was a way to toggle a second window for things like your character profile, inventory, etc.

I believe the best way to establish a UI for this would be to have a blank layout using your already acquired backgrounds.
When you press Esc.
Add a Select button at the bottom to toggle selecting menus for second window instead of opening them. (When clicked, have Confirm button pop up next to it)
Select which menus you would like to have pop up on second monitor
Click Confirm
The next time you open one of your selected menus, it will pop up in the second monitor’s window instead. Where you can then move the menus freely just the same as if it were on the main game window.

I feel like this should be a really simple task, however as I said before, I’m no programmer. So I don’t know if you can even make the game open a secondary window or tether to the second monitor like that.

Secondary thought, could you in theory use something similar to the wide screen function? Where it isn’t actually a second window but instead it’s in ultra wide but with a seperation in the middle game on left/right menus on opposite side. Then this function would be usable by people with an ultra wide if they so desired.

This isn’t possible unless you are taking 2 screens as game displays. Second screen would need to be taken as placeholder, most likely blacked out or sth.

TBF as info display etc. Public API could sort some helpful stuff like these, and i think that it could be even more helpful ^^’
