How about Document List?
As of 2022 the Document List panel has a button on the toolbar

Go to Settings > Preferences... > General and under the Document List Panel heading, select the Show checkbox.
A vertical list of all open tabs opens on the left. I'm talking about Notepad++ version 6.3. Don't know about earlier.

Notepad++ has session management built-in;
EDIT: as of NppV6.5.4, Session Manager Plugin needs to be downloaded from Plugin Manager. It does not have a tool bar button and needs to be activated from Plugin -> Session Manager after install

"... a little plugin that switches between files, by entering any part of the filename. It's handy if you don't like taking your hands off the keyboard to switch files. Formerly known as Keyboard File Switcher."
