RFE: Option to open PDF viewer in new window by default

Using Zotero's built-in PDF viewer, I can right-click on a document's tab and select "Move Tab -> To new window". This gives me new window with just the PDF, without the properties or notes on the right. This is useful because the new window is the right shape to put on a large portrait-orientation monitor that I prefer to use for reading documents.

It's tedious to do this every time. Please consider an option to open PDFs in a new window by default. This would replicate the pre-6.0 behaviour where my external PDF viewer opened on that monitor.

    You can do Shift+Enter or Shift+Double click to open in a new window.
    Or you have this option in Zotero 7 Beta if you want to make it the default:
    Zotero Settings -> General -> Reader -> Open files in new windows instead of tabs
