Create a new tab by drag and drop folders

Feature

When the users need to create a new tab they have to open a new one and search for the location. It could be nice if users could create a new tab by dragging and dropping folders. For example: You're at /home/$USER/Documents/ and you want to create a new tab for /home/$USER/Documents/Presentations/, instead of creating a new one using the "plus button" and search for the appropriated directory, you just drag the ./Presentations/ on your notebook. It's simpler and more intuitive for users.

The way to do this at the moment is to open the context menu by right clicking on the folder and choosing "Open in ... New Tab". Or select the folder and press <Shift>Enter.

You can create a new Window by drag-n-drop so perhaps a way to the same with Tab would be nice.

I do this a lot, but I usually use middle click (mouse-wheel click / three-finger tap on touchpad) or even Space works too ;)
