the feature of having the note window detached from the Obsidian main window

May I ask if this plugin will be able to support the feature of having the note window detached from the Obsidian main window, floating independently on the computer desktop, and even supporting edge hiding? If so, that would be very convenient, as I would be able to take notes anytime without having to open the Obsidian main window.

There are several ways to do this. First, if the hover editor is focused, you can use the keyboard commands "Move current tab to new window" or "Open current tab in new window", which will move or duplicate the hover editor in a standalone window, respectively.

Or, if you prefer to use the mouse, show the hover editor's "view header" by clicking the boxed "v" in its title bar (unless you have turned on the "show view headers by default" option in hover editor settings, in which case you won't need to). Either way, with the view header visible, you can drag the icon that appears on the left side of the header out to your desktop and drop it there or on another app, and the hover editor will pop out to a detached window.

(Note that these actions are available for all tabs, by the way, not just hover editors. But with regular tabs you can drag them by the tab, even if you don't have their view headers visible.)
