Description

Just a minor feature request I’ve found myself wanting a few times: it would be nice if the right-click menu had an option like “Open Defining File”, but instead of opening the file in a new window, it would open it in a new tab.

Research direction

Start by locating the right-click menu entry and the existing “Open Defining File” action. Trace how that action opens a file, then verify that the new option opens the defining file in a tab rather than a new window.
