I just realized none of this really applies to the PhProxy extension because 
you use PHP
(website-based) proxies. So I think for your extension you can do something 
like this for
proxy-per-tab:

1. User right-clicks on link and selects "open in new tab"
2. POST a form to a PHP proxy with desired URL (from right-click target).
3. Take results of POST and insert into new tab.
