Description

Hi, it would be great if there was an option to change behavior of O (Open URL, bookmark or history entry in a new tab) command, so it act as clicked on a link, as a result the opened tab will be in the same tab group as the original tab

Research direction

Start by tracing the O command, which opens a URL, bookmark, or history entry in a new tab, and how Vimium currently creates that tab. Compare it with a clicked target="_blank" link in Chrome tab groups; done when the requested option opens the selected URL in the original tab's group without changing the default behavior.
