Yeah, you can. As with early PCs and MDA/CGA etc, you could plug in a GFX card to an Amiga and run both it and the internal screen at the same time. WB couldn't spread across multiple screens, but you could specify a screenmode in a tooltype and make a programme open on, eg a Picaasa screen while running WB on the internal AGA. I never did it, but I know it could/can be done. You'd have needed a big box Amiga back in the day so there'd be slots to plug in a GFX card though or have to heavily mod an A500/A1200 into a bigger case with a Zorro adaptor/riser.
