Click links/files to open in new tab by default

Not to nitpick, but. You literally did just write your opinions in your previous post.

  1. I like how links behave in obsidian
  2. because I don’t need to click left and right all times in my notes of my vaultS - I like to check popout previews if I need to inspect notes
  3. I absolutely don’t want to clean up all opened tabs and its duplicates
  4. it’s really easy to learn shortcuts

These are all opinions and personal preferences. And that’s okay! That’s what a forum is for, you know? We’re not writing peer-reviewed literature reviews here, we’re chatting about a software we really like. It doesn’t have to be empirical evidence for it to be helpful feedback to the developers or the community.

Personally, my opinion is that it makes the most sense conceptually to have a toggle for open in same or new tab right in settings. But if that’s not going to happen, and a plugin accomplishes the same thing, it doesn’t bother me. There are a thousand little quality of life things that people like to optimize their systems with, and I tend to err on the side of options are good.
