Open attribute table in existing floating window on other screen via drag-and-drop

ArcGIS Pro is open on screen 1. The attribute table of layer A is open & maximized on screen 2.

I want to open the attribute table of layer B on screen 2 by dragging it from the Contents pane to the attribute table of layer A.

I don't want the attribute table to open in ArcGIS Pro on screen 1 because that will resize the map, which is a nuisance and slow in some cases and requires the additional step of dragging the open attribute table to screen 2.

Hi @Bud . Have you seen these options? Setting "Tables" to 'As a separate floating window' and checking the option below should let you achieve that behaviour by default. No drag-and-drop needed and map frame unchanged.
