Ability to View List of Reports on Web (outside of software)

When you are working in a report, and want to check a previous report for a comment you may have not saved to the template or other reference purpose, you have to exit out of your current report and open the previous report, copy the comment and then go back to the active report and paste.
Since you cant open the software in multiple instances, it would be helpful to have a web page with a list of links for previous reports - so you dont have to go through all the hassle.

+1 vote for being able to open multiple instances or having some kind of "tab" mechanic for multiple reports (it would also be nice to be able to write two reports at once when you inspect two similar homes for different clients and many of the observations are similar)
An HTML page with every report could be helpful if it is on the local machine only - having it online and not somehow password protected would make me nervous that someone could stumble across all of my client and report data.
Here are two other possible changes that would help in this scenario and in other areas as well:
1) From the home screen, add right click options for: "View Web Version", "Download PDF", and "Open Report Directory". I can see shortcuts to all three of these things as being useful at different times.
That doesn't help with having to exit the report to do this, so also..
2) When you go from a report to the home screen, save the position of the report being closed and if that report is reopened in the same session open it to the same section/observation. It would only need to save the positions for the last 2-3 reports and only while SW is still open - anything beyond that should open to the main page. This would make working on two reports simultaneously feasible in one instance.
FYI Daniel Katz - Try using Win+V if you are on Windows 10/11 - I learned of this recently and have used it for the exact scenario you described - https://mspoweruser.com/tip-winv-is-the-clipboard-history-shortcut-you-did-not-know-you-already-had/
