Open numerous GnuCash files at once in tabs
Currently, I have a situation where personal and company transactions inter-relate (e.g. dividend payments, loans). Personal and Company files are completely separate and cannot be linked (there is another suggestion in thsi regard!).
How about providing for numerous Gnucash files to be open at the same time, with toggling using tabs at the top at the page. That makes it easier to enter the corresponding transactions in both files.
Currenlty, it is possible to open concurrent versions of GnuCash, but that is less userfriendly.

I am trying to imagine how the user interface you describe would work. I fail to see how this can be easier than having two gnucash windows open next to one another.
Each gnucash file would in itself already open multiple tabs. If you mix and match tabs of both files in one interface that would IMO become highly confusing. I would probably very regularly be looking at one open tab and have to wonder whether it belonged to file a or file b ?
Also, with everything in one window in tabs, you could always see only one tab at the time so how can you compare transactions in file a against transactions in file b ? That would mean endless switching between tabs which would be less so when two windows were open next to each other.
So how should it work according to you that would make it more user friendly ?
