Bug Description

hey :)
clicking on the same request keeps opening new tabs (in the desktop app).

it's very annoying as sometimes you have opened multiple tabs and you do not realize that this request was already opened somewhere else.
it's also quite dangerous because you save changes within multiple tabs and it's difficult to keep track.

expected behavior:
clicking on the request would open the new tab only if it's not opened already. in that case it should just make this tab active..

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

2025.9.1
