New Tabs should open next to open tab
I'm sure this has been suggested before, but it matters a lot. I regularly open new tabs by clicking on a linked cross-reference. The new tab will open in a random window (and not necessarily the main window - often a floating window) that's almost never the window I'm in. Whenever an action I take in a tab opens a new tab, the new tab should open in the active window, in the active pane, just to the right of the active tab in which I've clicked a link. Microsoft Edge does this consistently correctly, so it can be done. What the Logos desktop app does is annoying enough if I'm closing the newly opened tab after I've looked at it. It's even more annoying if I want to keep that tab. First I undock it, then I take the several steps (move the new window down so I can see the one I'm moving the tab to, etc.) necessary to drop the newly opened tab into the pane I was using, next to the tab in which I clicked the link.
I'm a huge fan of the desktop app and all its extraordinary functionality, so this sounds more whiney than I mean it to be!

I simply grab-and-drag the link to the pane I want in the window. I'm not sure any auto-location would satisfy me.

Doesn't work for me … especially the right-click menu. My impression is the old code-rule (find similar) was overcome by features.
I'd think at least use the same window.
There's also the other problem, where a resource is already open and a 2nd one is opened. Since it's random, not likely a feature.
