Bug Description

Currently when navigating to a bookmark in webbrowser-app, a new tab is always opened when clicking an existing bookmark.

This creates unnecessary open tabs when the user really just wants to navigate to another page. A good default could be to open the bookmark in the current tab, but allow user to open in another tab via a context menu.

Maybe an option in the webbrowser settings to set the default behavior would be a solution.
