Steps to reproduce:
When current page is opened in a container tab, navigating is expected to retain this container.
right-click -> open in new tab
results in the link being opened in a new tab using same container as current page.
Actual results:
right-click -> open in new window
results in the link being opened in a new window, no container.
Expected results:
The container should have been retained.
This even has the potential of exposing the user and affect personal data, given that the user is likely unaware of this behaviour which is contrary to expected. (ie retain container).
For opening in a specific container (other then current) the UI has the necessary controls.

Managed to reproduce this issue on Windows 10 x64, macOS 11.6 and on Ubuntu 20.04 x64.

This has caused me issues several times. If I'm maintaining separate containers for personal and for work items, doing a right-click Open in New Window leaves the container I'm in and launches the new window without a container. Bam! My authentication is gone, and I'm potentially exposing information that should have never left the container. Please fix this.
