I think this is a WONTFIX.
There are preferences to make a window.open open a new tab instead of a
window. Other than that, it should be up to the user if they open new
windows for everything, or stick with tabs. If you want to create a new
tab, then use some dhtml to create your own tab system. Its quite easy,
you can simply use
document.getElementById('id').style.display = 'hidden';
