Forgive me, looks like this has been the case since at least early this year per [Plugin: Note Link System - Plugins - Joplin Forum](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/plugin-note-link-system/21768/138). I would like it to be fixed, but it the plugin hasn’t been updated in years. I also mostly stick to the Markdown editor view anyhow.

As far as I know, links can’t be opened _within_ Joplin, let alone within _tabs_ within Joplin. I don’t know how much either feature is aligned with the spirit of Joplin.

While I see the benefit of in-app tabs opening web pages, I can do without them. If I need to open links on desktop, I typically have a browser window or two already open. As for mobile, opening a link in a browser or using my device’s app switcher works fine enough for me.

In case you currently require these features, consider using Obsidian with a compatible third-party web clipper like [https://github.com/deathau/markdownload#obsidian-integration](https://github.com/deathau/markdownload#obsidian-integration) or [https://github.com/DominikPieper/obsidian-ReadItLater](https://github.com/DominikPieper/obsidian-ReadItLater) instead. You could also consider (donating toward) development of either or both features.
