How to open link in new tab in foreground?

Thanks. From what I gather from ceedee's reply, opening in the background probably is by design and one needs an add-on to change it to 'opening in the foreground'.
I meant this action:..
Now I prefer to have the site opened immediately, i.e. jump to that page. After all, that is the reason why I open the link.
Anyway, maybe it could be considered to be added as an option(?)
At least there is no need for an add-on then. -

Yep, thanks.
I discovered that I am not the only one asking for it

https://forums.opera.com/topic/11055/focus-on-new-tabAs said, it would be nice to have this as an option only: I also noticed other users prefer to have tabs opened in the background, so they can read the stuff later.
Ah well...

Thanks to all for the feedback.
(Sorry for the delay)BTW...,
I noticed that Opera on Android, when selecting 'open link in tab', does show the tab in the foreground...
For Opera for Windows, for the same habit, one needs a workaround.
Anyway, thanks again.(I'll submit a feature request - in case such request has not yet submitted in the past)

@Ceedee Thank you for the link. I had to uninstall Opera and remove all data and settings due to malware and couldn't remember how I had gotten new tabs in the foreground.
