In a typical PowerShell session, your console runs in a single runspace. Think of a runspace as a container where everything is stored. Inside of this runspace, code is executed asynchronously. But, PowerShell allows you to create your own runspaces and create as many as you want all at the same time!

I wrote a module called "ISE Session Tools" to do this a few months back. Essentially the runspace in ISE is equated to a "Tab" container, of which its child documents share the runspace. My script looks at the current open files, remembers them, creates a new Tab (runspace) and closes the old one, then adds the files you had open to the new Tab. Other features:
This can be disabled and manually controlled if desired.
A hint is shown to you reminding you of some of the files you had open. Press <enter> to accept the default of “Yes, reload my last session.”
Essentially cleaning memory and keeping your files open in the editor. You get prompted for this action. Press <enter> to accept default of “Yes, restart this tab.”
All commands available under “Add-ons” menu for the mouse-fixated. These commands are also bound to hot-keys.
