Shift-Click to open sheet as popped-out window

Sometimes you want to quickly open a sheet in a pop-out window (but you don't want them to pop-out all the time by setting that to default). It'd be nice to be able to open a sheet directly as a pop-out with a Shift-Click in the journal, for example.

Hi Zyriel Y.,  Shift+click is already being used (opens the Bio & Info tab). As is Alt+click (Character sheet tab). Ctrl+click seems to be available though. 
Ah wasn't aware of those shortcuts. But yeah Ctrl-Click would work nicely. Aren't Bio/Info tab already the default page though?
Zyriel Y. , are you asking for a function to pop open a character sheet from the journal into a separate window ("popped out") instead of opening it within the VTT and then having to manually pop it out? That would save a step. The Shift+click and Alt+click functions are for opening the character sheet's Bio or Character sheet tabs from the token on the map.

Zyriel Y., to clarify:  When a token is on a map and linked to a character there are the following options (assumes the Character has a Character Sheet):  dbl click = token's edit mode.  shift + dbl click = Bio & Info tab alt + dbl click = Character sheet tab This carries over to the Journal tab  clicking opens it to the Character Sheet tab Shift+ click = Bio & Info tab Alt + click = Character sheet tab.  My guess is that Shift+Click isn't necessary for the Journal tab but it is using the same interface option as the token so as not to confuse folks.  It would be confusing if Shift+Click did something different in the Journal tab from what it does on the token. 
Right, to clarify, I'm asking for a way to open sheets directly into pop-out windows from the journal ; not from tokens.

Yes, I was explaining the current setup and how opening from the Journal uses the same commands as the tokens. Ie: the reasons for Shift+click and Alt+click in the Journal. Ie: why Ctrl+click would be needed instead.
Yeah I understood. Just clarifying.
