But the problem is that, if you dedicate a workspace to each task, when you click on an application that you don't have opened on the current desktop but have opened on a different workspace (for a different task), gnome-shell moves you away from your current workspace instead of opening a new window of that application.

The goal of the GNOME Shell is to focus on one thing at a time, but normally when I have multiple windows or tabs opened all are related with the same task at hand. They are simply different stages of the same process. 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 If I want for example produce multiple videos, having all those windows open eases me finishing one video at a time, since I can quickly change between stages.

If you really care about focus you would want to make changes between tools as easy as possible.
