Add option to open in current tab

Thanks for a very useful extension.Would it be possible to add an option to open the links in the existing tab rather than a new tab?

Did anyone find a Group Policy setting that will Allow Access to File Url's?

I'm getting ready to deploy this to our organization however I cannot rely on users to check the box to Allow Access to File URL's. Is there a group policy setting for this in Edge?

Enable "Allow access to file URLs" via GPO (Group policy) with chrome beta is working for me

My working group policy setting with chrome beta 119.0.6045.59 under Google Chrome/Extensions/Extension management settings (this is group policy path, when you have Google Chrome policy extensions installed: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en)is

{"nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld":{"file_url_navigation_allowed":true}}

for this paticular extension, btw you cant do this:

{ "*": { "file_url_navigation_allowed": true } }

This sadly do not work, because you must use extension name and not apply to all extensions, I don't know why but it doesn't.

Regars.
