ctrl + click on a favourite app icon will open a new instance. Never
tried the extension put "Dash Click Fix" changes this to always open a
new instance when an icon is clicked:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/67/dash-click-fix/

If an app is running, the favourite icon is highlighted (underlined),
but this checks all workspaces not only the current.


@Tassilo 
For Terminals I use tabs to "organize" my consoles, which is supported
by nearly all "console apps". I use Terminator which supports tabs,
tiling and profile (save tabs and tiling state) maybe that's worth a
look.
