Allow to open an editor in a modal overlay #136534

Here is my problem:
I often has this need to take a look at another file temporary and close it right after. For instance, to check what was the name of that class that I imported there or was this function a default export or named export?

Currently I need open the quick file navigation ⌘P (Quick Open), then put my code either on my current panel, or place it on the side, take a look and get what i want, then close it in about 5 seconds or so.

It would be great if we can have a temporary modal overlaid without needing to place the file anywhere (maybe holding a modifier key + Enter would would open the modal instead of actually opening and placing it in the main window)
