Description
Feature Request: Command to 'Open the clipboard's URL in a new (background) tab'.
The most similar command currently is 'openCopiedUrlInNewTab', which opens in a new tab and switches to it.
This issue also highlights the inconsistency that the description of 'LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewForegroundTab' calls a new foreground tab 'a new tab & switch to it' and 'LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab' calls a new background tab 'a new tab', whereas elsewhere, a new foreground tab is referred to as 'a new tab' (for example Vomnibar.activateBookmarksInNewTab).

Compare their command behavior and descriptions, then verify that the new command opens the clipboard URL in a background tab and that the related terminology is consistent.
