You can always middle-click a panel icon to open that page as a new tab (in the background) or create a command chain with a custom button to do some panel opening/closing and tab opening magic.
I have requested a feature a while ago to add an "open panel in new tab" as button on expanded panel header toolbar - this has been filed as VB-80236, which has been closed with the resolution "won't do"

@mikeyb2001 If the Bookmark Panel is set to Floating it will automatically hide after opening a bookmark in a new tab from the context menu.

@Pesala hmm weird it just opens a new tab and dooesnt switch or close the paanel maybe something in tab settings?

[mikeyb2001]

@Pesala oh you mean right click

@mikeyb2001 If you want to use Left-click, go to Settings, Bookmarks:

Open Bookmarks in a New Tab

Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click
