Mac – Mission Control Switching for windows

dockmacmission-controlspaces

Introduction

I am an avid user of Mission Control and use it to organize my work. Unlike most, however, I organize my work spaces by general topic, and not by application. For example I will frequently have Google Chrome open in 3 different workspaces at once (workspace 1 will be programming related, workspace 5 will be general work-related searches, and workspace 9 will have personal related windows).

My Quesion

For a specific application, how can I open a workspace that has a specific window of an application and move to the workspace at the same time? For example, if I am in workspace 3, and I look at the Dock that contains information about Google Chrome, it will look something like this:

enter image description here

In this example, Files: Nature Biotechnology: nature.com is in Workspace 5, while automate-save-page-as/save_page_as ... is in workspace one. However when I click on them and I am Workspace 3, it simply opens up the window without bringing me to the workspace. Is there a way to configure Mission Control to open the window and bring me to workspace the window is in?
