Multiple windows can be odd / confusing

Description
If I use the "New Window" item from the app menu, I get multiple Notes windows. This can get pretty weird - I can have two grids of notes, and do actions on them. Will the other grid update if I make changes in one? Which is the authoritative grid? If I try to open a note that is already open in another window, nothing happens.
When you create a "New Window", it is because you want to see two or more notes simultaneously. An alternative that is closer to user intent would be to have an "open note in new window" option. This could be added to the gear menu or possibly to selection mode.
If a note is opened in a new window it wouldn't have a back button. If you select an open note from the grid, it would switch to that window, rather than open the note for a second time.
