zathura: Open a file twice in different pages without 2 instances open

The PDF's I usually read are the question answer type, I have to read the question in one page and jump to find the answer in an other page
To avoid jumping between pages I just open the same document twice in different instances, which becomes a problem when I have multiple documents open and there are 2 instances open for each documents it usually consumes a lot of memory

I'm doing this wrong and would like to find a better way to do it

and yes I've tried using quickmarks but as I need to keep moving from one question to the next, adding and removing quickmarks becomes a hassle

PS: I'm using DWM as my window manager; and DWM tags too are not helpful for my issue

Hi,
if you type

:open <tab>

zathura will show you list or recent files, and remember your place within them
