Open recents? IMHO reduce reliance on human memory of not yet fully thought out shortcuts/folders constraint of static Assistive Touch Customise Top Menu?

Is there open recents (Microsoft Windows File Explorer)? It helps when mind becomes foggy like in following situations 

1. as building a WIP takes longer

2. when I haven’t finalise where to locate shortcut in folders

3. Accessibility Top Menu max out at 8 shortcuts/folders

4. how else to customise for different focus? (8 is insufficient for shortcuts because not everything is accessible to shortcuts).
