Open text in new tab menu

[Mypgr]

Please add a menu item that appears when right-clicking on selected text. The option should be titled 'Open in New Tab' and, when clicked, it should perform the action of opening a new tab, entering the text, and pressing the Enter key. This way, it would be as if you typed the word into the address bar and pressed Enter, allowing us to see the search results for the text in our preferred search engine.

You can already do something similar by:

• Select the text
• Right click on it
• Hold the ctrl key (maybe alt on windows) and select "Search <search engine name> for <selection text>"

If it opens in background, a slightly different ctrl/alt combination may open it in the foreground.
