Open Layout in new tab

Flow
1

Hello folks,
i am using the following navigate method to open a specific page:

UI.getCurrent().navigate(SomeVerticalLayout.class, paramsNeeded);

i want to use something similiar or the same method to open the layout but in a new browser tab or window
is there a way to do this?

As far as I am aware, you can only open another tab with an Anchor with its action being set to _blank.
This means you can not open another tab programmatically (with ui.navigate()), the user has to click on a link.

Anchor a = new Anchor();
a.setText("click here");
a.setHref("www.somepage.com/abc");
a.setTarget("_blank");
add(a);

Thanks, did not help much.
I ended up using javascript to get the current href and use

window.open(hrefWithparams, '_blank')
