View map layouts side by side

Working on a multi-story, multi-unit building and have developed a door and window schedule including applying attributes and markers to the door and window objects on the first floor.

 

I would like to be able to view the viewmap layouts of first floor side by side with the next floor so that I can use the eyedropper tool to apply the appropriate door or window attributes/marker, to the generic objects that currently exist. This would allow me to visually see the correct handing and swing and quickly eyedrop the correct configuration.

 

I've tried undocking, but it seems you can only have one floor open at a time. There are too many configurations I believe, to use favorites. Is there a best practice or technique for what I'm trying to here?

If I understand correctly the work flow is to use Trace Reference since you can use the pipette to pick the settings from them and apply it to the objects in the current story.
