Research direction
Start at the Projects page and trace how each project name opens its editor. Add the requested icon beside the name so it appears on hover and opens the editor in a new tab when clicked. Confirm the control is discoverable and that existing project navigation still works.

Description
Problem
On the Projects page, opening a project in a new tab is only possible via right-click → “Open link in new tab.”
This is hard to discover and slows down workflows when switching between multiple projects.
I often need to work on several projects side-by-side, and the lack of a visible “open in new tab” control adds extra clicks.
Solution
Add an “open in new tab” icon next to each project name on the Projects page.
When hovered, the icon appears and opens the project editor in a new tab on click.
This improves discoverability and makes it easier to work with multiple projects.
Alternative
The only current option is to right-click a project card and choose “Open link in new tab,” which is slower and less discoverable.
Another idea was to add this option to the project’s three-dots menu, but showing a small icon next to the name is more intuitive and faster to access.
