Description
Hi,
By default Firefox opens links in new tabs in current container.
Let's assume there is Firefox container for Facebook.
If an user opens links on Facebook website in new tab with LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab Vimium command, the new tab will open inside Facebook container.
In my opinion it doesn't help if you want to prevent Facebook from tracking your activity.
By the way, if you open new empty tab in container, Firefox opens it outside of containers by default. However, if you use createTab Vimium command in container to open empty tab, new tab is opened inside of that container.

Research direction
Start by tracing the LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab and createTab commands mentioned in the issue, then inspect how Vimium currently handles Firefox container tabs. Define and implement the new command behavior for opening a link in the default container or a specified container, and verify both cases against Firefox's tab behavior.
