Extension summary

Opening link in new tabs is a great way to review lots of items later. However sometimes when you come back to those tabs you've lost the context and the history of how you got there. This extension adds an option to the right-click menu to open a link in a new tab with history intact just as if you had duplicated your current tab and then clicked the link. Now when you come back to the tab in the future you'll know exactly how you got there.
