Contacts Merge - Options to open contact record in a separate browser tab when searching
When merging contacts, you start typing the name of a contact you'd like the currently open contact merged into, and a list of similarly named contacts appears (including the contact you're getting rid of by merging it). I'd like to be able to open each of these in another tab from this list, so I can look and see which one I actually want.
Similarly to the CTRL-click, from the list view you can use the mouse by using the left click + scroll button together to open a contact in a separate tab.
That said, appreciate if you're in a contacts record, this does mean opening another tab to search from the main contacts list.
To be honest, we don't have any immediate plans for developing the merge within a contact. It's something we'll continue to track here though, and I'll update if there's any progress to share.

@Kelly that seems really cumbersome, opening an extra tab and doing a search just so I can open a tab, when I have to do the same search in the tab I'm already in to do the function I'm utilising.
(Also, I don't use CTRL-click, I use the middle mouse button / scroll wheel button because that uses fewer clicks and less effort.)
