Feature Description

When I click a .sql file in the EXPLORER panel, I want the new tab that is opened to auto-connect to the same database as the previously active tab.

Problem and Motivation

I feel like I spend half my life now reconnecting to the same database as I open SQL files, make changes, and execute them.

This feature would be in line with ADS and MSSQLMS.

This is related to, but not the same as, #1769 and #788. All express the same general idea that the user should be able to move between tabs and have a persistent database connection rather than having to break their workflow to constantly select and wait for connections to the database they are working in.
