This I don't know either, but I believe that there is something in the design
of the Kate UI which can help here:

My guess is that it is basically a problem of MacOS, that, if you use the task
switcher to switch to an application which "belongs“ to a different apple
space, the windows are not always recreated. Therefore, many applications  (in
particular text editors) provide in the window bar an entry typically saying
"Window", and when you click on it you get a list of all open windows managed
by this application, and clicking on the respective window, the window gets
restored. This at least would be a suitable workaround.
