Describe the feature you'd like

To be consistent with the behavior of clicking on a link in the main Hoarder page, if I click to see the details popup for an item and then click "View Original", I believe this should open in a new tab (_blank )

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

UX consistency when viewing a link at its source. That way, when I'm done reading, I can hit ⌘W to close the tab in both situations without losing my spot in the Hoarder UI.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, I can train myself to always hold down the ⌘ key when opening links so that the behavior is always consistent.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

It opens a new tab for me on Arc, but I can reproduce it not opening a new tab on firefox. Definitely something I missed that needs to be fixed.
