How can I get my REPLY or COMPOSE to open in a new tab? (Open messages already open in a new tab.)

I did see that others have this problem and you answered that it's not possible. Can you create an update that will allow this? If not, is there a workaround? When composing or replying to an email, we often need to consult other email or the Thunderbird calendar, and this is annoyingly difficult at the moment, but would be very easy if there was an option to "compose" or "reply" in another tab!

As far as I know, compose always opens in a new window. I have never seen any way to change that (nor would I want to).
