    See attached screenshot for why this would be so incredibly helpful.

    CONTEXT:
    I have 3 different projects open right now (had 5 open earlier). At the moment with 3 open, I'm:
    1. Working on a Unity Package in one.
    2. Testing the package against another real/full project in one.
    3. I'm comparing prefab configuration & UI configuration in the third Editor instance.
    I'm trying to memorize the "order" that I have them in at the moment, but at least 30% of the time I click the wrong one.

    SECOND BEST [ie if NOT doable due to macOS restrictions or similar]:
    Unity Hub has a presence in the macOS menubar. When I click it, it shows recent projects. If I click on one of those recent projects & the project is *already* open in an instance of Unity, then the Unity Hub opens and I get a "Project is already open!" dialog. Instead, how about: In the Unity Hub menubar 'dropdown' (when I click on it), put an asterisk or similar next to the projects that are already open; AND if I click one of those, open up that instance of Unity!

    Thank you!
