What happened?

Part of my workflow that I'm used to involves opening multiple windows at times, especially if I need to reference something from one site for another.

At the moment, I've found the easiest way is to use the "Move to a New Window" option in the context menu. But on essentials, that actually ends up removing it from essentials, and makes it become just a standard tab in the new window.

I think this could potentially be circumvented by adding a new option that allows you to "Duplicate" to a new window. But I do think the fact that this action by default is destructive to something that should be a bit harder to accidentally irreversibly alter is a big issue. Essentials should almost be set in stone unless explicitly changed by the user and not by some auxiliary action that doesn't imply such behaviour, so in my opinion I feel like the "Move" options should act like "Duplicate" when done on essentials.

研究方向
Investigate the 'Move to New Window' action in the tab context menu. Look for where essentials tabs are handled (likely in the tab state management files). The fix may involve adding a conditional to duplicate the essential tab instead of moving it. Review the issue comments for any maintainer suggestions or additional context.
