FR: Open link to next window context menu

[Aziks0]

I use the tab-stash extension with the tab always pinned on my main window, but I very often find myself wanting to open a link in a secondary window. Currently, I have to open the link in the current window, and then either use my shortcut to move the tab or use the context menu. A new context menu button, on links, that opens directly the link in the next window would be very useful for this.

A simple and dirty way to do this with the current implementation would be to:

1. Open the link in a new tab, on the current window
2. Move the tab to the next window

Something like this:

browser.menus.create({
  contexts: ["link"],
  title: "Open Link in next window",
  onclick: (link, _tab) =>
    browser.tabs
      .create({ active: false, url: link.linkUrl })
      .then((tab) => tabMover.moveTabOrHighlightedTabs(tab)),
});

But maybe with the tab being set to be the active one? I'm not sure. The "Open Link in New Window" button opens the tab in a new window and focuses it. So it's maybe best to keep it consistent with the browser behavior.

Another way to do it, which would require way more code and/or probably some refactoring of the moveTab() method, would be to directly open the tab in the next window using browser.tabs.create() windowId property.

Either way, I would love to have a feature like that.
