Feature Request: Storybook api to open particular canvas alone in new tab

[RaghulXander]

By clicking Story name on side panel how can we open the particular canvas of a story in a new tab.
We have a button called open canvas in new tab but how can we automate it ??
Do we lack that feature through Api ?

I'm not sure what you mean by automating it? The URL is created from state here:
Addons have access to this state.

Its not like automating...what i mean from the below code is

window.open(`${baseUrl}?id=${storyId}${stringifyQueryParams(queryParams)}`)

can user control whether it can be _blank or _self on clicking from side bar.
