Change preferences to "One MIDI editor per item" or "per track" (and also set the "Behavior for open items" to "Open the clicked MIDI item only"). Then, when you double-click an item that is not yet editable in the existing MIDI editors, a new editor will open, with that item set as the active item.
In previous versions of REAPER there were some ugly bugs when using multiple MIDI editors simultaneously, but since v5.22, notation and piano roll work well together.(*)
The only remaining limitation is that multiple editors cannot have the same active item, but this does not inconvenience workflow
if you are editing multiple tracks per editor(**): all editors can edit any item, even items that are active in other editors. Edits and inserted events immediately show up in the other editors.
When in notation view, the aforementioned limitation does not apply: the notation editor can insert notes even into tracks that are not active, so the limitation of "One MIDI editor per media item" has actually been overcome to a large extent.
(*) The event list view mode is not yet fully compatible with multiple MIDI editors, if I am not mistaken.
(**) If you prefer to edit one item at a time, with the setting "Active MIDI item follows selection changes in arrange view", you are unfortunately out of luck: This setting is not available when using multiple MIDI editors. (I would suggest, however, that IMO the advantage of using multiple editors/views gets bigger, the more tracks you are editing simultaneously. When you are editing a single track at a time, using a hotkey to switch between views is about as quick as moving your eyes between editors.)
