Is there any way to make Postman default to opening saved requests in new tabs

I know from the Postman docs that I can open saved requests in a new tab either by creating a new tab before clicking on the saved request or with a keyboard shortcut, but I'm hoping there's a way to default Postman to always open requests in new tabs - like the standard functionality of most IDEs.

I frequently find that I've sent a request, then a second, different one and wish I could check something in the response for the first request, but it's no longer there, because the second request opened over the first.

Obviously if I know that I'm going to want the first response, I can explicitly save it, but that's quite cumbersome, and it's usually only after I've sent the next request that I realise I want to refer back.

I suspect the answer is probably to build muscle memory to always hold Ctrl + Shift when clicking a saved request, but it would be nice if there was a setting.

What is history tab in Postman?

History. To access the requests you've made, select History in the sidebar. When you're signed in to Postman, your history syncs across your devices. Select a request to open it again in a new tab. To select more than one request, press and hold ⌘ or Ctrl, then select the requests.

Just realised that this is now possible (or perhaps always was and I just missed it) - in the 'General' tab of the Settings dialog, under the heading 'REQUEST' is a switch for 'Always open requests in new tab'.
