PowerToys Run - Web Search | Option to open tab in new instance of browser or not

[MaelDLO]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Would it be possible to add an option to the Web Search plugin in PowerToys Run so that users could pick whether they wanted to open the new tab on a new instance or their current one? If they have more than one, maybe they could also choose to place the new tab on the instance that was used the most recently. This is because I have Firefox set as my default browser and Chrome as my default search engine, and whenever I use the Web Search plugin, it always opens the new tab on a new instance of Firefox.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would help to enhance the productivity of the plugin as it is currently slightly inconvenient since it moves the user to a separate window of their browser instead of just making a new tab on the current instance.

this would be done by either a user defined macro feature for PT Run or /dup #3200.

Chrome is a browser, Google would be the default engine also. The search engine is defined inside your browser's settings.
