[FR]: Open a new tab if origin differs from pinned tab's URL

[bencogrimm-max]

Description

Protect pinned tabs from being "re-addressed"

Who's implementing?

• I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

Any link opened from within a pinned tab should open in a new tab, not in the pinned tab itself. Also, when a pinned tab is active (open on screen), no typed URL (address bar) or clicked URL (from bookmarks) should occupy the pinned tab. These should always go to a new tab.

Possible solutions

Don't open any links inside a pinned tab until it's unpinned.

Additional context

this makes sense, but i'd also do these alongside this behavior:

• CTRL/CMD+W should hibernate (discard) the tab & go back to pinned URL instead of suggesting to unpin the tab. it should go to latest opened tab or create a new tab, same behavior as "closing" a tab, but without actually closing it.
• there should be an option to go back to pinned url, at least in context menu
