User Story As a user, I want to receive feedback on doing an action (like clicking a menu entry) also for tabs / dialogs that are unique, so that I can see where I have to focus to continue my workflow.

Description See https://discord.com/channels/1064938364597436416/1304396273142730772 If current (may be hidden behind other tabs)

bring it to the top
make it flash (visual effect)
make it the active-active tab

Regarding anything around "active tab" and focus, we do not currently have anything for this. This is a very complex and difficult subject. It is unfortunately very challenging to track focus on an iframe.
