[Pins] Setting for folders to open as new tab

Extension

Description

I would like to be able to set an option for folders to open them as new tabs rather than separate windows. I guess they should be added to the most recent finder window, if several are open.

Who will benefit from this feature?

Anyone frequently opening sets of folders.

Anything else?

It respects Finder's "Open folders in new tabs instead of new windows" setting. If you have that enabled, it will do exactly as you've described. I'm not sure a separate setting for Pins is needed, but let me know if you think otherwise.

On my system, Finder's "Open folders in new tabs instead of new windows" setting is not respected. It is turned on, but each folder is opened as a separate windows (not tabs of a single window) and not even when a finder window with tabs is already open…

Notwithstanding this potential bug, I think it would be useful to set a default and be able to tune the setting per folder.

The bug would be with Raycast's open() function, as Pins just calls that with the path to the folder. I'll submit a bug report on Slack. (edit: submitted here)

I can look into adding a per-folder setting that uses AppleScript or something to ensure opening in the same-window.
