Does what it says perfectly! Perfect with a "max tabs" extension: when clicking a link doesn’t work because you already have the maximum number of tabs, just click it again with Ctrl-Shift. Instant quality-of-life improvement :)

Awesome! This works perfectly for those who want an option in the context menu to open in the same tab. Doesn't require access to browsing data. Many thanks!
