New Resource replacing a current tab

Wouldn't it be great to have the option to somehow open a new resource on a tab that is currently being used?

Sometimes, we like having an uncluttered desktop and want to keep it that way. Each new resource we open 1] creates a new tab and 2] if we want to replace the old tab we must close it / lose it.

Is there any thought about a way to REPLACE the current resource by opening a new one in its place; and afterwards ... hit a 'back' arrow to return to your original resource? Maybe a RIGHT CLICK on the "+" to choose a command to "Open in this window" or "Use Same Tab" or something like that.

I guess we're all different. I'd find this suggestion confusing.

What do you propose for how Logos determines which tab to overlay?

The only way this would feel natural to me is if dragging a link/resource over top of the tab replaced the tab, to the left or right created a new tab in the respected positions, and floating it in the body of a panel resulted in the current behavior.

EDIT: OK, That got really messy. I'm sure it could have been simply but I hope you get the point.

For me Parallel Resource sets is sufficient ie. right and left arrow keys. Else I just close unwanted tabs.

However, the guessing game of which pane a resource will open in with Logos' "intelligent" placement sees me doing more dragging than I like, so I wouldn't mind a tab to be designated as "Send new resources here"!
