I would like to see improved link handling in Firefox Split View.
Currently, Split View is useful for displaying two tabs side by side, but it would be much more useful as a workspace if links could be opened directly in a specific pane.
For example, I would like to have options such as:
“Open Link in Right Pane”
“Open Link in Left Pane”
An option to make links clicked in one pane open in the other pane
Keyboard shortcuts or Ctrl-click behavior for opening links in a specific pane
The ability to keep one pane as a “source” or “search” pane while continuously opening links in the other pane
For example, I could keep search results or reference material on the left and open the selected links on the right, without having to manually select or rearrange tabs each time.
I think this would make Split View feel less like simply displaying two tabs side by side and more like a proper two-pane browsing workspace.
I hope Mozilla will consider improving link handling and navigation within Split View in a future update.
