Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Opening a link in my chosen browser is helpful but if I already have many tabs sometimes I want to open a link in a new window. Currently the only way to do that is to click the link open in current browser window and then drag that tab out into it's own window.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to press a modified key like ctrl+# to pass something like --new-window to the browser of choice.
Did some quick research (1, 2), most browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Opera are Chromium-variants all probably use some form of --new-window.

The only strange one that I noticed so far might be Safari for macOS. It seems like you'd be able to use macOS' native Applescript like:

osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" to make new document with properties {URL:"https://example.com"}'

That said, I'm sure there's probably a few browsers that can't or don't conform this way, For those outliers maybe an override can be specified in the config file but feels hacky.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It's not a big problem where I've looked for alternatives. I think it's just a quality of life improvement, that's all :) No big deal if you don't want to implement it yourself.

Additional context
Nope, thanks. I may also try to do this myself because I've been meaning to take an honest shot at rust
