Cmd + Click goes to goes to declaration. If the declaration is in the same file, the editor would scroll to it (staying on the same tab). There are occasions when developers would want to open such declaration (that is in the same file) in a new tab and I think we should have a shortcut for that - Cmd + Shift + Click - like in Google Chrome. Such feature would significantly improve the development process. I'd love to elaborati if necessary.
