HI @leemaree44 
One trick I use in this sort of situation is to right click while hovering over what I would like to open.
Let's use your opening the Calendar example while you are on a Canvas page.
Right click while hovering over the calendar icon, then select the option to 'open in a new tab'. This will keep the Canvas page as is, as well as opening the calendar in a new tab. You will just need to go between tabs without having to navigate through the course all over again.
Hope that makes sense.
Sing out if you need a hand.
