Tabbrowser.addAdjacentNewTab and Tabbrowser.addAdjacentTab were added for different use cases. They generally work fine, but it could be better in some cases if other code could lean on URILoadingHelper in order to use all of the other logic that's already present there. For example, in bug 2035771, opening a new tab via URILoadingHelper will focus the window the tab is in, while calling Tabbrowser directly will not do so.

openLinkIn doesn't currently have a way to specify a specific context tab.

Summary: Allow URILoadingHelper to open links adjacent to the active tab → Allow URILoadingHelper to open links adjacent to a specific tab
