Opening link from bases into tab on right like file manager

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

Basically- The goal is to have two tabs. On the left would be the bases file and on the right would be whichever file I click from the bases view. This is not opening a new tab to the right (like with middle click or Ctrl+Alt+click as that constantly adds new tabs.)

This is so you can click on a file in bases and it overtakes the right tab and shows that file (like a dual pane file manager.)

Things I have tried

You name it- searched and did the hotkeys, etc. but found nothing useful for my precise use case.

Does showing the base in a sidebar (instead of in a main workspace tab) suit your workflow and landscape? From there, base links work the way you described: they open in the active tab, without creating a new tab.

Oh wow- I have never dragged anything to a sidebar before. I was looking at the far left dock and there was no option to display the base by itself but you can drag it and boom, there it is.

This is perfect. Thanks @dawni !
