It’s implemented by using “open -n” on macOS and so probably isn’t valid for other apps using that mechanism. That said, other platforms can just launch another executable using the original command. It would seem a compatible implementation could exist for other environments.
 
Fancy opening a bug?

That's right, Gayan.
 
"File > Switch Workspace"  closes the current workspace and opens another one.
 
"File > Open Workspace" will allow you to open another workspace while the current workspace is still open. See https://github.com/turesheim/eclipse-launcher for macOS.

I think whats noopur is saying it will give the developer a change to open a new eclipse instance for the selected workspace. 
 
Best regards,
