Retool Quick Open Extension

Improves Retool load times by enabling tab re-use. Open Retool links in an already open Retool tab instead of opening a new tab. This extension locally scans whatever tool your customers are using like Zendesk or Salesforce.

The default behavior scans for a link that looks like ``. It only re-directs if host and path match an existing open tab. This is easy to customize. Please open issues/PRs on the github repo for feature requests.
