Teams: Sharing multiple windows but not entire desktop

Is there any expectation for an option to select more than one window to share - but not whole desktop - so that it's easier to toggle between content and different applications when presenting?
For most of my needs, this is the last holdout for why I still have to use Zoom rather than Teams because it's so awkward to have to select only one window at a time. I don't want to share my whole desktop; and having a monitor for second screen is not always practical.

    I never share the whole desktop but only individual windows because of risk of leaking information (e.g., email popups, teams messages etc.)

    What is the schedule to make multiwindow sharing available?
    (Webex has it, and it works great.)

    I'm afraid it's either the desktop or a window. Have you tried using virtual desktops? You can have a selection of your apps moved to a virtual desktop and present it instead of your "regular" one.
