Description of the Issue
I want to open same txt file named as Work Notes (Including some text) in multiple tabs. Is there any way to open it in Notepad++? I tried Multiple Instances option but it always open a new window instead of a tab.
Please help...
Describe the solution you'd like.
I want the same txt file should always be opened in the new tab whenever I double-click on it whether I want to open 10 tabs of the same file. Because I work on the same text everyday and I have to copy-paste it to a new tab every time as the new tab open with the blank text.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the multiple-instances and double-click behavior in Notepad++; then trace the existing tab and instance handling to determine whether repeated views of the same file are supported. Done means the requested file can be opened in multiple tabs with its existing text preserved.
