Can you not switch among them with the tabs at the bottom?

(Still a good idea.)

Yes, but every time I need to open another script, I’m forced to a) switch back to the main designer and b) navigate away from whatever view I’m working with in order to find it.

Then there’s the fact that when I do find it and click on it, nothing appears to happen. I know that it got opened in the other window, but there’s a lack of feedback that doesn’t feel right.
