Anyway, I think what you are asking is fantasy. I don't think it's possible to ever have something like that regarding the Activities.
Ok, not done yet. However this is not a fantasy. Just read kde forums. I think that this was original idea to separate tasks. Otherwise Activities are not very practical. Just virtual desktops inside virtual desktops.

This week in KDE
Nate. March 22, 2024.
The bug-fixing continued this week with the aim of getting Plasma 6.0.3 into a great state. Already the big bugs you folks found have almost all been fixed, and this week a lot of time was spent on some X11 regressions and various crashes that our new automatic crash reporting system was able to find (thanks for submitting those! It really does help). A number of automated tests were also added, and finally some nice UI improvements to round things out. More exciting work is in progress too, but not quite ready to mention here! .........

This week in KDE: looking forward towards Plasma 6.1
Nate. March 29, 2024.
This week I’d like to highlight a very cool development: the automatic crash reporting facility in the Plasma 6 version of our venerable DrKonqi crash report wizard. Automatic reporting is opt-in, but so far lots of people are opting in, and we’re using this data to get a much better picture of the crashes that our users are actually experiencing than we ever could using Bugzilla! Using this system, at least three such important crashes were fixed this week, two by Fushan Wen and one by Vlad Zahorodnii–and possibly even more than I missed! ...............

This week in KDE: real modifier-only shortcuts and cropping in Spectacle
Nate. April 5, 2024.
For years KWin has offered modifier-only shortcut handling via an obscure and undocumented method of editing the kwinrc file. Well, no more: in Plasma 6.1,
KDE’s shortcut choosers will accept lone modifier keys natively! .......
