Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not related to a problem per-se, but I keep accidentially losing track of what I was scrolling around...

Describe the solution you'd like
Very simple: Right now, when you click a note, it immediately takes you to that note. But, I would love the ability to open them in new tabs instead so I can keep scrolling from my current position.

When you hit < Back from within a note view, it doe snot put you back where you were. That is why I would love to just drop certain notes into different tabs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Probably very hard - but the alternative would be to reset me to my previous position. Thing is, I often scroll the global feed, so there is a whole lot of movement going on... So resetting to a specific position might be difficult here.

Additional context
None I can think of, sorry.

In modern browsers, CTRL- or middle mouse button click opens links in new tabs but not in Snort. FF on Debian.

While I think this should be fixed (label "bug", not "question" on this issue), the back navigation being the actual issue should also and urgently be addressed. Given this issue here I'm hesitant to open a new issue for that but ...

As it stands, I reach the end of my feed and have to click a tiny button that has no immediate feedback, so I occasionally clicked twice which was either necessary as I had really missed the tiny button the first time around or it was not necessary and the button jumped away right when I was about to click on it, resulting in me clicking on a note which undoes the previous 5 clicks on that tiny button as I have to click back which brings me to the top of my feed and not where I was before.

As an immediate improvement of the "Load more" button I would wish to see a spinner on that button as soon as it was triggered and automatic trigger when scrolling down, ideally not requiring to scroll it into view, so loading can happen off screen on fast internet.

For the issue of the back button bringing me to the top of my feed ... not sure if anchor-links in the feed could work. Maybe while scrolling, the window.history could get updated with links like https://snort.social/notes#note=nevent1qqsvxwz8a3quhvm464atwdwde9xvmulzkthh56hsr339ane074rhpjcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0jnwlgs&notesBefore=51, with snort loading events generously (100 more, 151 in my example) and if the nevent is found, scroll it to the top, mark, show the 51 newer events and collaps any yet newer events as "new notes".
