Can Open Instead activate the specified tag when the tag are the same?

First of all, I wish you a happy life
This article is converted through Google Translate, I hope you can understand
Currently it tries to create a new tag every time
Windows in such a function
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/nf-shlobj_core-shopenfolderandselectitems
It is different from explorer /select, the command is that it will try to find the folder path first,
If there is a tab (window) for the specified folder path
and then navigate to the file
As mentioned above, the only extra step is to find out whether there is a tab(window),
if there is no new and select, or activation and select
Open Instead can achieve this function
I simply replaced SBSP_NEWBROWSER in o.Data.wFlags with SBSP_SAMEBROWSER
I know that I should get the list of tabs for tab plus first
Then traverse whether the path of the tab is the folder of the incoming parameter
According to the situation, decide whether the wFlags parameter is SBSP_NEWBROWSER or SBSP_SAMEBROWSER
But I am really not familiar with the related functions of TE, I hope it can help...
By the way, hope not to change the ViewMode in Te etc.
That is to modify the whole part of CurrentViewMode
I can't predict what the status in Explorer will be like at this time
Disturbing TE's status for this is very unreasonable
try "Prevent duplicate tabs" add-on
try "Prevent duplicate tabs" add-on
Open Instead has a subsequent selection action
Prevent duplicate tabs' will only activate tabs without this action
As shown in the figure below, I modified it to open in the current tab
I suggest @tablacus to enhance "Open instead" add-on so that it will activate an existing tab (i.e. already opened folder) and set the selection according to Explorer window. User will enable this feature by an option.
I have patched TE and "Open instead" so that when "Prevent duplicate tabs" is enabled, a matching existing tab will be reused to select the required item.
I am not the application owner therefore I cannot deploy these patches through a proper release.
