Workspace customization on macOS (Ventura)

I wonder if it is possible to have multiple docking frames created on macOS (I'm on Ventura). I once managed to create two docking columns side by side, having "Properties" as the inner frame and all other as the outer frame and it appeared to work fine, but I was not able to drag docks from one to another and I have not been able to do this again, so I doubt it was a kind of a gitch. Workspace is so much poorer on macOS at this stage but it would help a lot if it at least could be possible to have multiple docking frames. It took a while before I realized that it is possible to collapse docking groups; windowing is also sub standard at this point, so there is a lot to improve...
