When using MATE is there a way to open apps in a specific workspace?

I think you can do it. Switch your window manager from the default of Marco to Compiz and then use compizconfig-settings-manager

Marco only stores sizes/positions/workspaces for apps that are session-aware.

Generally, for what you want, you will need another tool such as devilspie, wmctrl or (as David suggested) compiz.

Compiz does not look palatable for older hardware. Devilspie seems to be working okay. Thanks.
