Description of the new feature / enhancement

I have 3 monitors, and the monitors are connected to each other in an extended desktop. At that time, when I use the win+D shortcut, all the monitors go back to the desktop, but I only need specific screens to go back to the desktop. Can I achieve that each monitor can display the desktop independently?

Scenario when this would be used?

When working on multiple screens, you always need to open files on your desktop, and if you use the existing shortcut keys (win+D), you need to reopen the corresponding application.

Supporting information

Here is a similar software:
https://github.com/CryptKat/ShowDesktopPerMonitor
but it can only make the main screen display the desktop, what I need is to be able to control each screen independently
