You are right, I will try to make research on the subject, "Measuring 
Tabbed Browsing" seems to provide some (hopefuly) meaningful results. 
Thus said, here I'm not trying to convince you that most browser users 
know how to use tabs and windows. I am asking you what would be the gap 
it would fill as I am unable to find it by myself.

All appologies, while I for sure have a tech background, I didn't meant 
to sound elitist. On the contrary, I'm asking you to explain me what is 
the obvious need that you hope to fill with such a feature and that 
couldn't be achieved within Wikimedia, espcecialy with the coming Echo 
extension.

Discussing is a great way to discover how hard it is to agree on 
"obvious things" because our representation of the world is an 
idiosyncrasy.

Sure, but I just don't understand what prevent you from building links 
within Mediawiki.
