Links | Open in new window instead of in existing

How to open links in a new window instead of a new tab in an existing window?

How do I configure to open links in a new window instead of a new tab in an existing window?

E.g. when I click a link in Slack I want a new window opened, I don't want a new tab on an existing window.

I have looked through the settings but can't see how to do it.

@theonlyianwood Welcome in our Vivaldi Community

Enjoy browsing with Vivaldi.

Some useful links for you:

@theonlyianwood In browser you can use Ctrl+Shift+Click to open a tab in a new window.
Or do you want each link in a extra window!? Not clear for me. Please tell.

@DoctorG , thanks for getting back to me.

E.g. when I click a link in Slack I want a new window opened, I don't want a new tab on an existing window.

It is when I click a link in another program, say Slack, or an email.

@theonlyianwood What do you mean by "in another program"?
This is about opening links in Vivaldi. For each link you will find "Open in new window" in rightclick menu.

@theonlyianwood Idea:
UPDATED: Search for file vivaldi-stable.desktop
Copy the file to ./.local/share/applications/
Now edit the copied file vivaldi-stable.desktop in a text editor (kate, vim, pico etc.).
Change line
Exec=/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U
to
Exec=/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable --new-window %U
Save

Thanks @DoctorG that has done the trick.

I didn't edit a file but instead the launcher in the Quick Launch panel in KDE

Is a better way.

vivaldi-stable --new-window %U

hi! how to force opening in existing (private) window if exists, else open a new private window.

i am trying to configure the launch.json vscodium configuration for "launching browser" for debugging javascript.

following is my current config:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch Chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "chrome",
            "url": "http://localhost:8080",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "runtimeExecutable": "C:/Program Files/Vivaldi/Application/vivaldi.exe",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "--incognito"
            ],
        },
    ],
}
