Is it possible to have one assistant editor (on my second monitor for example) which always shows the counterpart to the file which I am currently editing (on my first monitor)?
I can create a new tab, drag it out into its own window and show the assistant editor but of course it doesn't show the counterpart to the file I am editing on my primary window/monitor.
Is there any way to make it do this?

In the upper-right corner of the Assistant Editor’s jump bar, notice a + icon and an X icon. The + icon adds another Assistant Editor to your screen; the X icon closes the current Assistant Editor. FIGURE 6.17 Xcode opens the file related to what you are working on.
Clicking the right button just narrows the existing editor and adds another one next to it. Some of the same options are also available in the Editor menu in the main menu bar. Update: This is from the Xcode 11 beta release notes, and perhaps more fully explains why the UI was changed:
At first, you might close any secondary editor until your editor is fullscreen again. With Xcode 11 this is no longer needed as you can now focus on a single editor in fullscreen. You can focus the active editor from the menu in View -> Editor -> Focus or by using the shortcut Control + Shift + Command + Enter.
The new editor is one of the biggest changes introduced in Xcode 11 and introduced in the What’s New in Xcode 11 session during WWDC 2019. Focus on a single editor by entering the full-screen editing mode Configure each editor individually as they all have their own minimap, preview, assistant, and other complementary views
No there isn't. But you can always send feedback to apple regarding what you'd like to see in future updates. If this request comes from many devs, maybe there is a chance to see it added to xcode.
