Description

The tabbed interface introduced with #617 works great.

I woudl benefit from having the option to open other .md files in a new tab, rather than a new window. If this isn't desired default behavior, possibly extending the right click to "Open in tab..." or a preference for "Open new editor windows in a tab"..

Great work on the app!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the tabbed interface introduced in issue #617 and the current behavior when opening other .md files. Define and implement one consistent option for opening files in tabs, then verify that opening a Markdown file no longer requires a separate window when the option is enabled.
