Always open scripture in open bible?

Hey,

Is it possible to always open a bible scripture link in your currently open bible?

What I mean is, I have Systematic Theology open on the left and my preferred ESV Bible on the right.
When I click a scriptural link in Grudem's I'd like it always to open in my already open ESV, but often it simply opens a new ESV Bible in another Tab.

I've tried setting both resources to the same Link Set but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Matt

    I dont have Grudem's but I tried Strong's, Dabney, Hodge & Berkhof & all of the links used my open ESV.

    I was going to screenshot that for him, but mine isn't checked, so I wasn't sure that would help.

    Set "send hyperlinks here" as MJ has shown but:

    It took me YEARS to figure this out: If you move the mouse even slightly while clicking, it becomes a "click and drag" command and opens it in a new tab. I was often doing that unawares. Hold it motionless and it will go to the already open Bible.

    Thank you for everyones help.

    MJ's 'Send Hyperlink Here' tip really helps, but also Sean's tip about not clicking a dragging also make a big difference.

    Many thanks,

    Wow...thanks for that info...I have been getting new tabs opening as well even with hyperlinked bible open. Must be I'm moving the mouse slightly as I'm clicking.         update: and that's what I was doing...So, keep the mouse completely still when clicking to send hyper links to HL'ed bible and new tabs won't open.
