How it looks in stdu viewer

Sometimes you need to frequently switch between two pages in pdf document. For example in motherboard manual you see a page illustrating layout of components and another page explains components purpose. Currently there are two workarounds: using bookmarks or creating a copy of pdf document and opening it in another tab in okular.
 
But stdu viewer (windows pdf viewer, works fine in wine) there is a function called "Split view". It allows you to watch the same file (not a copy of file) in different pages simultaniously (see attached screenshot). It is very convinient, because you do not need clutter your documents folder with copies. It would be good to have such feature in Okular.
