I encountered difficulties in working in selenium IDE. How to open an incognito window? The default new window opens.

Opening an icognito window is not currently available in Selenium IDE. You can file a feature request here if you'd like: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide/issues/new?template=feature.md

I wanted incognito mode too, but I found a workaround. My problem was that a web site was using cookies to remember my previous query, and I wanted to start from scratch so my Selenium IDE script had a consistent starting point. So I used the Chrome browser Settings > Cookies and other site data > Always clear cookies when windows are closed > [*.]thedomain.com

That solved my problem. Your mileage may vary.
