Currently, there is no way to tell from the launcher icon that I have windows of an application open in both workspace 1 and workspace 2. This can prove to be very annoying. Consider this use case:

I open Firefox on workspace 1. I go to workspace 2 and open another Firefox window, and then Nautilkus. I fullscreen the Nautilus window.

If I go back to workspace 1 there is no way for me to easily go to the Firefox window on workspace 2. There isn't even a good way for me to tell that I have two Firefox windows open, because on workspace 1 the Firefox icon will only have one "pip" next to it. Even if I activate Expo I won't see the Firefox window on workspace 2 since it is hidden by the maximized Nautilus window.

There must be a better solution for this. Perhaps add a transparent pip next to the opaque one, to signify that the application also has a window on another workspace?
