Seems fine! (although I think there already was an extension to do this, maybe this could have posted as an update to that)

The closest I could find was the following: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/67/dash-click-fix/ That extension is actually the basis for mine, and I've hopefully correctly credited the original author in the code. That extension changed behaviour of onActivate() to launch a new instance, instead of activating an existing instance. My extension instead changes the behaviour of onClick() to launch a new instance on middle click (which shell already does by default) on the current workspace, instead of a new one. Although the extensions could probably be combined due to their similar and simplistic functionality, I think that without some sort of easy configuration (not "edit extension.js"), they are best left separate currently.
