Multiple instance: "kicad is already running, Continue?"

Software
1

Rationale:
I heavily use kicad for multiple PCB project (the lack of this support need another thread).
Case:
Every time I launch kicad to edit the 2nd or 3rd board,I need to open another project, thus I must click on the popup “kicad is already running, Continue?”.

While I understand users confuse application launcher with application docker but is this really necessary?

Proposed feature:
Add a command line parameter to open a new window:
kicad --new
or
kicad -n

This is only a user forum.
Suggestions like this might be better suited for the mailing list or the bug tracker. (If you choose the later, you should mark it as wishlist.)
