Default Is there a way to set plugins to open with Target Button off by default?

Edit: Hold down shift when clicking on a plugin to open it up without Target button active and not replace an open plugin. (Shout out to JFreak!)

Many times I like to have multiple plugins open at the same time. Is there a way to set the Target button off by default instead of having to always click it before opening another plugin?

Use a modifier key when you open a plugin. Can't remember which was it, probably command.
