How can I configure the Ubuntu Dock to show windows only from the current workspace?

I would like my Dock to show only the windows of the current workspace. Especially in the little preview window. I find it very confusing to jump around workspaces when trying to find the right window.

gnome-shell

  2. You may use the 'Workspace Isolated Dash' GNOME extension.

    Here you can see more information about this extension, and also install it: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/887/workspace-isolated-dash/

  3. If you are using the Dash to Dock extension, you can click on Isolate Workspaces to show the apps running in only the specific workspace.

    You can find this option in the Dash to Dock settings:

    1. Go to the Extensions app on your Ubuntu 20.04.
    2. Click on the settings button in front of Dash to Dock.
    3. Then go to Launchers tab and enable Isolate Workspaces.

    Here is a screenshot of the Dash to Dock Launchers tab:
