Hey, please bring back the ability to open in the current tab for buttons, which was available in the old mini-extensions. I rely on it a lot to build an app-like experience instead of always opening things in a new tab. Ideally, this would be available in all view types (grid, list, gallery) as well as both forms for the linked record field and portal. It would also be great to be able to show some buttons in the header of the portal, ideally being able to show a couple of buttons that are not menu items since menu items mostly act like tabs, especially if you choose the embed option.
