Redundant folder tabs when opening a folder location from a third-party app #15851

Description

(I'm not sure if this should be classified as a feature request or a bug)
When opening a folder location using a third-party app, Files does not verify if the folder is already open. As a result, it creates a new tab for the same folder, leading to duplicate tabs displaying the same folder

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open a folder (C:/Test for example)
  2. Have a third-party app to open that folder (That would be a Chrome download to C:/Test, and pressing the tab icon to open the download directory)

Requirements

Files should check if, in the active tabs, the folder is opened or not. If it is, then redirect to that tab. Otherwise, create a tab for that folder
