Originally created by @vadimkantorov on GitHub (Nov 5, 2022).

Right now, it always spawns a new Terminal instance / window which can be a tad slower than just spawning a new tab in existing instance. This can be compared as opening an HTML file from disk which usually would open it in existing Chrome instances and just open a new tab.

Propose to have a discussion to have the same behavior for Terminal by default (great that an option already exists in the config though! thanks to @237dmitry for pointing it out!)
