As mentioned multiple times, that up to the user agent, or browser if you
prefer, to control. Users with browsers with tabbed interface want tabs
and that it. Leaving such usability in control of a webpage is bad. All
browser that support tabs allow the user to choose if they want the
browser to open new windows of just tabs.

You can use A.click instead of window.open. I have ignored the keyboard
shortcut requirement because it is irrelevant.
I agree that modifying window.open to support tabs would be more
consistent;
I just wanted to make you realize that neither is it strictly necessary
nor
does it require any support from JS itself (your postulated modification
of
the window.open interface method is perfectly suited for the current JS
language, I hope?).

Hi Kristof,
my knowledge of JS is limited but how would you handle this situation:
in your web app, you want to provide a keyboard shortcut for opening
current item into a new tab. You need to invoke this action from
JavaScript
so setting CSS to some DOM element is not enough (AFAIK). I think
window.open() would need some new optional parameter or something
similar to
support this.
