Open in specific window

Adds a right-click menu that opens a link in a specified window

What is Open in specific window?

'Open in Specific Window' is a Chrome extension that enhances your browsing experience by enabling customizable link opening. Instead of the default mechanism which opens a clicked link in the same window, this extension adds a right-click menu that allows you to choose the window to open the link in. This feature comes in handy particularly when having multiple Chrome windows open. The menu automatically shows the titles of available windows, and even lets you name your open windows for easy identification.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Chrome will by default open any link in the same window as it was clicked.

If you have multiple chrome windows open, this extension will add a right-click menu allowing you to choose which window to open the link in.

The menu will automatically show the current window/tab title of the windows you can choose to open the link in. Optionally you can also name your open windows by clicking the "Open in specific window" icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Please repair the alt+click option! It would be the best extension with it!

Alt-click doesn't work. This extension is useless, there's no way I'm going to constantly right-click.
