title: How to open a new browser tab with no URL (via onClick on webpage) as if you clicked the "+" button to add a new tab
body: <p>How does one go about opening a new tab with no URL in the address bar via an onClick event from a webpage as if you clicked on the "+" button to the right of all the tabs.</p>
  
  <p>Yes, I can do <code>onClick={() =&gt; window.open('', '_blank')}</code> to open a new tab without a URL. But that will result in <code>about:blank</code> appearing in the address bar. Something I don't want. The new tab that opens should be <strong>exactly as if you clicked on the "+" button</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>JFYI, I'll also be okay if instead of a new tab opening, the page where the onClick originated from becomes the blank page. As if you clicked the home button.</p>
