Setting to open Numbers files in separate windows, not tabs

Is there a setting in Numbers (and probably Pages as well) to always open documents/files in separate windows and not as tabs in the current open document? I have Safari opening in separate windows and Finder windows too. Seems like Numbers/Pages should allow me to do the same thing. I'm on a 2017 iMac running Ventura 13.6.1 and Numbers 13.2. Thanks for the help.

You can change the default behavior here in System Settings:




If you decide to keep this as open in new tabs by default then you can always press option-command-n when you want to open a new window.
