"Open in new tab" should be default behaviour

By click on collection this should be opened in new tab. If the collection is already opened the tab will be selected. The context menu "Open in new tab" should be stay as is and opend a collection in new tab. The case "why" - you open a collection, put some filter, order and some other staff. Then you want check other collection and just click on it. All settings on the first collection are lost.

    I'm excited to share that we released a change that prevents modified tabs from being closed by accident in Compass version 1.43.3.

    Clearly whoever is working on this never used the program themselves. Opening collections is the most common action people use and they are forcing us to constantly go through a menu to open new tabs. (seems this was fixed around 10 days before I commented, but I didn't install the 1.43.3 update before commenting)

    This definitely should be a part or at least have it as a customizable option in settings
