I do this my having two windows open side-by-side (a 32” 4K monitor and a tiling window manager make this easy) and just drag a link from the left browser window over to the right. Not as nice as simply clicking, but usable.
If you’re willing to change browsers if necessary, Firefox has a Side View [0] extension that offers some functionality, though it’s just an “experiment” that hasn’t been updated in years.

It may not be exactly what you have in mind but there is an interesting extension along similar lines (mostly for chrome) called TabFS that mounts your open tabs as a filesystem...

I hoped it does something like TabFS and I could query my tabs content with SQL but it's not. Seems useless to me, sorry.

Interesting. Just made me think of using a custom filesystem to navigate a codebase. Similar to: https://github.com/osnr/TabFS. I wonder if anyone has done this.

Hmm, this might be the right audience - anyone with C and JS skills want to poke at https://github.com/osnr/TabFS/issues/75 and maybe come up with a pull request? (I got as far as I could on the C side, all the details are in the issue, but I'm not sure what shape the javascript side of the fix would be...)
