Is there a way to force a new page to open using the same tab?

Right click and select 'Open' (or bring up the context menu and press 'O').

I would like an easier way to do this myself but I can't work out how to add it to my keyboard setup. I tried assigning 'Open' and then 'Open link' (which is what the right click menu uses) to 'Enter alt shift' but when I Alt+Shift+Click these links still open a new tab.

I would like the 'reuse existing page' preference to have a third option to force all links to load in the same tab unless the user chooses to open a new one (with Shift+Click etc). I think 'reuse existing page' doesn't make much sense to many of the casual users Opera is targeting these days so how about a drop down list with:

  - Allow document links to open new pages (default)
  - Always open document links in existing page
  - Always open document links in new pages

With Opera's instant redrawing of previous pages, opening new pages can be a nuisance, especially if you're on a page of links that all open new tabs.
