Tab Manipulation Through JavaScript
Now that tabbed browsing has become a standard feature in many browsers, what is the future chance of tabs being manipulated with JavaScript, similar to the way windows can be manipulated with JavaScript?
Update: I found a Mozilla extension called Tabbrowser that enables similar functionality in Netscape 7, Mozilla and Firebird (previously called Phoenix). The extension can be configured so that links which normally open in new windows will open in new tabs instead. If you’re a tab power user, you might want to try it out.

Yes! That would be wonderful, although I can already hear some of the more “user-controls-all”, and “we-hate-window-manipulation” crowd cringing. I think it would be nice to have a standardized way to provide a link GROUP, which could be some sort of backwards compatible way to drag a folder of links at once (either as a sub-folder to your bookmarks, or as a series of tabs.
