Is it possible to open an java-based figure from the new desktop?

I assume not, but I see jvm is still running (or at least usejava('jvm') is true) so maybe yes?

I find myself changing back and forth the old and new desktop because the web based figures are too sluggish and cannot deal with plotting large amounts of data before stopping being practically responsive. It is even evident from bench where the new desktop does much worse than the old in the graphics related tests. I use macos and I assume in macos it is in general worse.

Yes. The new desktop is largely javascript, but traditional figures created with figure() are still java based.

I get html figures with either figure() or uifigure().
