I'm not sure it's possible to open an unfocused window. However, you
can use ^W-p or ":wincmd p"

:help CTRL-W_p
:h :wincmd

to return to the previous window you were in regardless of where the
new window was opened. Granted, that does alter what the previous
"previous window" was before you opened the new window, but I'm not
sure there's much one can do about that.
